Ford Repair: cab mount bushings, pitman arm, torque specs


Question
Is the cab mount bushings the same on the 73-79 truck in regards to 2wd./4wd. Some vendors are showing 2wd.or 4wd. Also, would like to know the proper tightening procedure along with torque specs.
 I replaced my bushings with a rubber kit from LMC and they say 2wd/4wd are the same. I have not tightened the bushings yet, but the rear of cab body line is about a inch or so higher than the bed body line. Will this line up after I get everything tight?
  Also, could you recommend a way to adjust the steering box without removing the pitman arm?
                     THANK YOU.

Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
Your questions for the body mounts should be directed to a body person....I'm a mechanic, not a body person.
As for the steering box...you should remove the pitman arm during any adjustment....so you don't get component "drag" in the feel of it.
