DANA 20 Xfr Case Parts Search

First let me say I've been browsing through this site and have found several threads that helped me out on other issues. Thanks a bunch for having this site available and for keeping the info posted for us to see.

I recently picked up a 73 CJ5 with the 304, Dana 20 Xfr case (single shifter), and am beginning to slowly pick away at things that need fixed on it. Nothing stellar right now, as soon as I get the motor running smoothly (another issue ), I'll drive it around for fun and slowly work on it.

Recently while replacing the worn out rubber boots on the shifters I noticed the Xfr case linkage is very worn and loose. In the exploded view the part number is 18-180-8. It's the rod with the ball-bolt (that swivel) connectors on each end. I understand these are very hard to find and there are work-around replacement parts, but if I could lay my hands on a stock replacement that would be very cool. Also worn is the greasable fitting at the bottom of the shifter arm, I'm hoping some grease will help solve that, it's been neglected (out of sight, out of mind) for a long time it appears.

Anybody who can share an idea of where to find this linkage?

Wow, I found one (thanks Bohica) in the find spare parts thread above. George's Jeep Parts has them. See how helpful this site is???
