1974-77 Highboy Power Assist Ram Cylinder Parts.

[Old-Fart-Al]

I'm in the process of rebuilding the Bendix ram on my front axle and need a few used componants from some junk unit out there. Looking for the shaft nut, spring clip, beveled steel washer and most importantly the 2 piece plastic spacer that's cone shaped in the center and fits directly behind the main seal. I have no need for the entire cylinder and hope to avoid shipping a complete unit. All the stuff I need could be thrown in a bubble type envelope and shipped cheap. If there's someone in the Chico / Redding CA area that has a complete cylinder they want to get rid of, give me a shout and I'll come get it. Thanks for any help in this. Al.

I bought the kit on ebay in 2004 and it's worked great since.

That's why I said Bendix in the first post and listed the 1974-77 model years.

Figured it was pretty obvious what I was looking for.

Thanks anyway for the clarification in-case there's some interested in helping that might not be aware of the differences.

That's why listed the info, but it doesn't make any difference inre to the parts you're looking for...except for 1977's.

D3TZ-3C590-A .. Ram Cylinder Rod End Bushing Kit / Available from Ford.

Fits: 1973/76 F100/250 4WD (1977 F250 is not the same).

MSRP: $39.22 // FTE Ford Dealer Parts Dept sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price: $28.24.

Crown Motors in Redding doesn't have it, the closest dealer to you that does is Downtown Ford in Sacramento.

But, you can save a few bucks by buying it from Horizon Ford in Seattle WA (PartsGuyEd.com).

Now that's a home run!

I had no idea the bushing was still available new. Fan-freekin-tastic!

I'll give PartsGuyEd.com a shout and order one.

These forums are a wealth of information and priceless for their content and genuine concern for fellow members.

Again, thank you!
