I have a '76 F150 4X4. I just installed a 4" lift and was fighting to get one of the front shocks out, when I broke the lower front shock mount stud off. I have had no luck getting a replacement. I have tried to remove mounts from doner trucks. Every one that I have tried to get has met it's fate at the end of my breaker bar, and they are too tight for the impact gun. Rounds off every time, no matter how much penetrating oil (I've tried them all), or heat I apply. In desperation, I even went back to my former employer, Les Schwab, to dig through junk suspenstion parts and could not find a match. I cannot find this part anywhere! Even the mighty internet failed me, along with Napa, Shucks, Carquest, and the local Ford dealer. Does anyone have any ideas?
Got a pic of the part needed/in question? I'm not too familiar with the 1/2 ton 4wd stuff, but I'm decent with coming up with solutions to fixing stuff
