From where you live to where you could get a good frame.

Either your driving expenses or the freight costs would cost more than the frame.

just how bad is yours that you can`t fix it

You might have wanted to post in the wanted section.:jessica:

For the most part. But there are some significant differences between years.

Of note, 84-88 frames have the last 2 body(bed) mount holes at the rear drilled in a different location than 93-95 frames. I don't have any information on where those holes would be on a 89-92 frame, but I'd assume they'd be the same as 93-95(since the body style changed in 89, and remained essentially the same through 95).

Notice the location of the rear body mounting holes labeled J and j on the 88 4WD regular cab SWB PU frame below. And their distance from holes H and h(H-J or h-j) as 314mm(12.36")


Notice those same holes and their relative distances from each on the 93 4WD regular cab SWB PU frame below. H-J/h-j is +100mm comparitively, at 414mm(16.30")


So any similar model 84-95 regular cab SWB PU frame should work(even if you had to drill a couple new body(bed) mount holes). But I've also noticed that the horsecollar crossmembers look different between 84-88 and 93-95. The exhaust mount and e-brake cable bracket aren't identical. What difference that might make...I don't know.

It's also worth mentioning that if the frame's not from a model with the same engine, it's probably not going to have the same transfer case crossmember(since the transfer case usually isn't the same for a 4 cyl. and a V6). But you could swap your old crossmember to another frame(if it's still good).
