Here is a pic of the right side rear cab body mount check out the wood upper bushing! WTF must have been having a bad year.

 

Wow... lol thats some impressive repair work if im any judge. My 77 had the same style mount underneath the bed.

 

He could have at least used pressure treated lumber.

 

Better than duck tape? lol

 

your po and my po must have being brothers i got the same mess with my bronco seems every thing he touched turned into red/greens duck tape heaven lol

 

I don't know....make fun all you want but it got the job done and he sold YOU with it. The thing is actually in very good condition and he put some effort into it. When you can't get it quick and you need it ... Improvise. I've seen a lot worse.

 

Looks like the wood was still doing the job some PO intended it to do. Maybe he started to build a lift. Improvise. I've seen a lot worse. What ever works safely.

 

For some people half assed is the only way to fly.
