I'm looking at replacing all the bushings on my 66, but when i'm looking at the front suspension C-Bushings, they come in different degree's of "Offset". What is this offset and any idea of what offset I need? My truck is stock, as far as the frame, 2wd. However I do plan at some point doing the disc brake conversion.

 

What are C bushings? I've never heard of or seen any such thing.

 

Sorry, I may have been looking at the wrong picture when trying to find what all bushings I would need to order.

I think those may be for 4WD not 2WD not sure, but they are the control arm bushings. The image I was looking at just had them listed at C-Bushings.

There are no control arms on any 1961/66. "C" bushings (sorta resemble the letter C) are radius arm bushings that were only used on 1966/76 F100 4WD's that came with coil spring front suspension.

Left: 1965/69 F100/250 2WD / Right: 1966/72 F100 4WD ~ 3B203 = Radius Arm (aka C) bushing.

3B203 radius arm bushings also used on 2WD's, but they're round, not C shaped.

 

Cool, thanks for the info.

 

Just sayin,,,they go to 79 I think.

 

1976 was the last rear that F100's were available with 4WD, why the radius arm (C) bushing applications are 1966/76 F100 4WD

1977/79 F150 4WD used the same bushings.

 

Well mine is not a 4WD so I guess I don't have to worry about those. I do plan on replacing the other bushings though.

 

Thought it was the same,,,BUT it was the F100 part I overlooked!
I knew you were right Bill, but my my brain ignored F100!
