Problems with 1999 Ford Ranger STEERING

I was driving on the highway and noticed that the steering was pulling to the left. after a short while i could not manage the steering. when i pulled over in the brakedown lane i noticed that the right front tire was toed in. when the tow truck came we noticed that the frame was cracked and rotted at both wheel mounts and the the right front mount was the worse. we also noticed that the motor mounts were all rotted and the overall front section of the frame was rotted which prevented any repair. *tr
