I've been looking in the marketplace and posted a want ad, but no luck so far. Does anybody have a pitman arm for a 69-71 F100 with power steering (Saginaw/Ford box)? This would be part# C9TZ-3590-C, which is stamped C9TA-3590-E. I'm trying to get everything together for a PS setup on my 66, and this is the last part I need!

Thanks,
Jeremy

 

C9TZ-3590-C .. P/S Pitman Arm-Use with Ford/Saginaw P/S / Marked: C9TA-3590-E / Obsolete

1969 F100/250 2WD from serial number D96,001 / 1970 F100/250 2WD / 1971 F100/250 2WD before serial number M00,001.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

 

There's a 2WD power steering pitman arm currently up for bid on ebay (not my auction). This is the exact same casting number on the pitman arm on the Saginaw box I put in my '69 F100. Power steering pitman arm number D2TA-3590-BA.

Someone has bid on this pitman arm but, it doesn't mean you couldn't win the bid on it.

Thanks, but I'm trying to find the other one. If I use that later one that you used, I'll have to get new steering linkage. The earlier one will match up with what I already have.

 

Ah, you beat me to it. I was about to go back and edit my last post to mention I installed '77 F100 front discs/suspension and steering components on my '69 F100.

 

Clueless ebay seller has the wrong applications for this Pitman Arm, says 1966/79 F100/150/250 2WD

You have to wonder if the bidders are aware of this.

Most anyone selling vehicle parts is most likely not a Ford parts/service department employee or even a former one and, most likely, they do not have the various information on specific parts and their particular application(s) for the components they're selling. They may only have an idea of what application/year model(s) it was used on.

This being the norm and shouldn't come as any surprise, it's the responsibilty of the person buying the parts to (initially) put the time into researching what components are needed for changing/swapping/upgrading components on their vehicle, BEFORE they spend their money on an advertised OEM/used part. --most especially when the person selling the part has included photos of the item and the number on it is clearly visible for the potential buyer to see it.

Typing the component number into the search box on Google, Bing, whatever, will almost always and immediately bring up all sorts of information that pertains to the specific component in question to identify what it is, what application it was used in and the year range of models the part was in service use on.
