This thread has a really long first page.
Anyway, I've had this thump when doing burnouts for a while, then it started with a bang over bumps when another adult was in the truck. I knew my cab bushings had seen better days, so I go some and was waiting for nice weather to put them in. Last weekend it got really bad so I took another look and found the brace for the rear seat mounts sitting directly on the frame.
Last night I got to taking the cab loose.
My helper:
These were bushings. 20 or 30 years ago:
For anyone who ever wondered how to get at the cab bolts on the early Rangers:
Just pull back the carpets and there they are.
