I am getting my Redhead steering box installed on my 64 F100 4x2, with 292 and need help locating:
the felt bushings for the equalizer shaft (Red 358979-S XX-224)
the plastic clutch rod bushings (blue 7526)
the clutch spring (blue 7523).

One of the felt bushings is destroyed but the split bearings seam fine. NPD has every year but 64. DC has the plastic bushings $6+$10 shipping so it would be good to find the parts at the same place to save shipping. I assume a suitable spring can be found at the local parts store.

Help would be appreciated in locating these parts?

 

FYI, NPD cross references the felt clutch bushings to the pads under neath the battery cables. They certainly look the same. I have not look at the local stores but will if I ever replace them again.

 

The clutch rod bushings are in the "HELP" section of your local parts store. I've seen them on Ebay and Rock Auto as well.

 

I bought the felt washers for a 65 and they fit just fine. If not a few battery terminal washers should work. The plastic bushings I got from Sacramento vintage ford. Ford dealers also still carry the plastic bushings.

 

DC & NPD both have the following, probably other repro parts sellers as well. 100's of both are also available NOS
