So my tranny x member mounts (outside ones at the frame) are toast. I can't get them from my local parts suppliers. Does anyone know if they are availible from Ford still?

Unfortuanltey those bushings are not replaceable and theres nowhere you can find them. You can however swing by a junkyard and look around at some explorers because a lot of them had a tranny crossmember that mounted solid to the outside of one frame rail and then solid to the lower rail of the other frame rail. From what I have seen of them the frame should have all the holes needed to mount this crossmember, or at least the 93 and 94 ranger frames do, but I wouldn't be surprised if the older ones did also, if not it may be just a matter of drilling a hole or two. One side of the explorer solid crossmember mounts using the 3 holes that should have rivets in them on your B2 in a triangle pattern holding the mount to the frame.

i know a while back (6 years or so ago) i was having problems trying to find a crossmember for my Bronco II. i found out that Moog made one and i ordered it through that website. It bolted right up and i think it was better than the original ever was.

All you can do is get a new dog-bone or replace the crossmember with a different year.

NO ONE sells just the bushings.
