Old Style Ball Joints

We have a 1999 F250 2wd Super Duty with cast I Beams
Approx 10 - 12 months ago when we ordered the upper and lower ball joints from our local Ford parts department, we noticed a much different quality ball joint. The old ball joints we are looking for are a much stronger solid looking part. Any ideas where we could find the old pieces?
The only stamping I could find was Fo Mo Co 0 06

id replace them with Moogs rather than ford BJs. On all the newer trucks the ball joints seem to wear out pretty fast

Try NAPA Premium parts. Napa regular or standard grade parts compare to Autozone, Parts Plus, etc..

True enough on the lower life span of the nylon lined joints. I installed a set of uppers/lowers on my 1999 F150, and had a lower separate completely, 18 months later ( at 70 mph ).
