[QUOTE="carl boger, post: 1001872, member: 71181"] I call them rubber cab mounts and I believe there are six of them and they dryrot into dust. I came across this problem when I put a body lift on. its a very common problem that ford should recall for but not really a hard fix. also I got a universal body mount replacement kit I believe from jc whitney or online someplace, point is I would avoid replacing them with factory ford ones unless you want to do it again and again and so on. you will wind up with the same inferior part that you got from ford in the first place. you can get them in red or black, I suggest sticking with the black ones because they are injected with graphite and wont end up squeeking on you down the road. pull the flooring up to expose the body mount bolts and remove them one at a time replacing the mount and bolt. by doing one at a time the cab wont tilt or shift. you may want to loosen them all slightly to give yourself a little wiggle room however. a pry bar as well as some sort of a guide pin will greatly help align the mount and the bolt will drop back into place much nicer for you. take your time, breath and you should get through this just fine.
