Default shock tower 1987

My father died 5 years ago and his 1987 Ranger, 2 WD, had been sitting where he parked it until last week. My brother and I decided to get it running again, but after we moved it discovered the passenger side shock/coil tower had rusted to a dangerous level and started to crack. It has been difficult to find the part. The photos in the following link look similar to what we need, but on a later year:

ATS says at https://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/...k-bt-rr/#tab-2 , says “This Shock Tower Will Fit Older Model Rangers With Some Alterations To Mounting Holes”.
Does anyone have any experience with this or where to get a 1987 passenger side, 2 WD shock tower?

Found the right part on Ebay! E3TZ-5A306-B OEM
