  14. Are you guys using poly T/C mounts?

    My 76' F-250 needs a set of transfer case mounts. I was hoping to come across a set of rubber mounts, but all I can find is poly from JBG.I think that rubber mounts are going to be more forgiving as far as vibes are concerned. Has anyone had any problems with poly?

  19. Where will I ever...

    Find a replacement for this joint? 1976 F-250 highboy.It's the one that connects the steering box arm to the hydraulic cylinder. I've never had one of these "hydro assist" or whatever you want to call it systems, so this is all pretty foreign to me...The joint looks to be rebuild-able, but...
