major problem is fiding one either in good shape or new not to exceed the price of the car.

If all the bolts come out ok, then it's about a 3 hour job. If the fuel tank cradle is rusted too, then you might as well change that, as the front bolts of the rear sub-frame needs to be removed to replace the tank cradle.

Don't forget to change diff mounts, much easier when frame is off. I powder coated mine and changed adjustable tie bars that were seized up. Good time to replace tricky brake pipes that run past fuel tank.

It's just occured to me. Is this for the FL1 or FL2? The 2 vehicles are completely different, so the sub-frame fitting will also be very different.
