throttle linkage - HElP!!!

I have looked everywhere and I just can't find any throttle linkage, my linkage right now is bent, so im only getting about half throttle. I bent it back once already, but it bent back, and if I keep bending it back it's just getting weaker.
So if anyone knows where I can get one, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

First, welcome to FTE! The official greeter will be along shortly. Now, in order for us to help you, we need information. I see you've got a '67 F100, but what engine/carb is under the hood? If you could, maybe add a picture of the linkage that needs replaced? I'd be willing to bet that some of us would have the part you need.

Last time I needed a part, I hit the local salvage yard for a few hours of fun. :-) Let us know what you need!

Or, if you're tired of the mechanical linkage it's not real difficult to upgrade to a cable system. I used the whole assembly along with the loud pedal out of a '75 Lincoln Mark V on mine, works great!!!! Oh yeah, welcome to FTE, lots of truck freaks hanging out here!!!!!

Welcome to FTE

A picture as the above member stated in post #2 would be a great help, because both the 6 and 8 cylinder F100's have 5 different rods, 5 clips, 4 brackets, several springs and a bellcrank.

Create a photo gallery and upload the pics there. You could also email it to me, as I have the parts books.

What transmission do you have?

ok, i've uploaded 2 pics of the linkage.

I have a 3-spd manual. What does that have to do with the throttle linkage though?

If it were an automatic, part of the throttle linkage would be the kickdown linkage from the carb to the tranny... Manual shifts do not have it....

2 Rods to Firewall~Upper Rod = D0TZ-9D702-A / Lower Rod = C7TZ-9A702-B

Short Rod nearest left valve cover = C6TZ-9772-A

Long Rod adjacent to carb = Rod is not shown in acc linkage picture. Note: C7TZ-9A702-C is nearly identical, and might be an omission in the parts book pics/text for F100/350. It's listed for and shown under = 1965/72 F500/600.


These parts are the same/similar to std trans applications: 1965/72 FE engines

I guess that would be me... Sometimes it seems that it's the most important part of my job, which is nice 'cause you guys are all so well-behaved and polite in here, you don't leave me much else to do...

So Hi Tyler, and Welcome to FTE! Please take a moment to check out the Guidelines (if you haven't already done so) as they contain important info that you'll need when posting on the site:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/guidelines.html

And we'll se you around!

ok so go get some all thread and a couple of ball connectors ditch the whole pivot setup and connect the bellcrank straight to the carb. put a ball stud on the carb and one on the bell crank get a piece of all thread long enough shape it th way you need it and clip it in.

That sounds like a good idea, but i'm trying to keep this truck as original as possible, and if its at all possible i'd like to replace the parts with OEM parts.

You originally stated the "linkage" was bent. Which bracket in the pics is bent?
The bellcrank?
