I purchased my downer truck from the same company that I purchased my 98 from.
Here are some photos of my downer truck and in case you where wondering I drove this crooked little heap home it was only about a lane and a half wide driving down the road.
2000 Ford ranger downer truck i purchased for $200.oo, It was hit by a fast moving box truck in an intersection.
I used all the front suspension because mine needed ball joints and calipers badly.
Here's a behind the sense look at a Ranger.

If you've never seen the inside of your rear differential replacing anything in side is a scary proposition.
I had to replace the pin that slides threw the spider gears.
Replaced blown head gasket one year after engine swap.
Draining the radiator.----------------------------------------------------A little grease and she just pops out.

I changed out the interior because mine was gray and the downer truck had tan and i needed the tan door panels for the power locks ,mirrors and windows.
I also changed out the rear slider window because it had factory tint and mine did not.
