Hey, my 76 has some steering play. Looks like the entire box wiggles back and forth? Is this normal? All bolts are tight. I noticed this when my son was shaking the wheel back and forth.

 

It looks like you’re missing a frame mount (empty hole).

On my 1978 this piece is attached to the top of the frame rail. Yours appears to be missing completely. Not sure what’s up with that.

 

That's exactly what I thought. Wtf! This is dangerous lol

 

Wow. Wtf. Guess I'm gonna have to fab one.... anyone have photos of this mount?

Dangerous and bad. Ugh.

 

Should be easy to fabricate. My chassis is too dirty and greasy to get a decent picture.

 

Thanks so much Fred. This explains why I was confused.

My toddler saved me from a bad situation by playing in the truck while I worked on it.
