your not the first one I've seen more than one of those break They usually start to rust then get weak from the rust and break.

Like RD said cut the rivets off with either a torch or some form of grinder then, install the new one with grade 8 bolts and steel locknuts (not nylock nuts)

Sometimes with the older Rangers you have to jack the ignition key up and put a new vehicle under it.
