I'll probably take you up on that. I've looked before but not totally sure what to look for.Replaced my front lateral control rod bushings on Sunday. When putting the lateral control rod back in I noticed I had developed the very well documented crack below the steering gearbox. Got the gearbox out of the way, cleaned up the frame, back gouged the crack and did a triple pass while using a map torch to heat before and help cool slowly after the fact. Glad I caught this when I did and not while going around a bend on some mountain pass somewhere. Truck drives way better now. If anyone else has an 80 and isn't sure where to look for that crack if you've wheeled your 80 for years please let me know I'd be happy to show you where you hopefully don't have a crack
