hello this is my first post and i have a problem i need to no where can i find new highboy parts. i have a 76 highboy and cant find any parts like new lockouts or the power assist steering rebuild kit or a new one so if someone nos a good website or magazine or company please let me no thanks

 

Welcome to the site:
You must not be looking too hard for your parts. These components are just about everywhere. Are you in an area that has limited access, or tough taxes for importing parts?
To the left of your screen, you will find many sponsors that will carry lockouts for your truck, and you will also find the power assist ram that you desire. You will just have to know which style you actually have.
Have a look there, you will find what you are looking for.
Tell us a little more about your ride. Is it basically stock, or is it modified? Is a replacement hydro ram really what you need, or is there a need for a better system?
You will find what you are looking for here.

 

welcome to the site! and ditto to what 75 said.

 

well i have a 76 highboy with a 67 cab and bed 3 in. body lift with 38 tsl's 360 stock 4 speed but i see those sites but no one seems to have any specific parts for a highboy like the big chrome lockouts with the red centers do u suggest one of those part places

 

Welcome to FTE

The lockout hub parts, the P/S: ram cylinder seal kit, the ram end bushing (mounting) kit, the control valve seal kit, the stud kit, and the pump seal kit are all still available from Ford.

Contact FTE sponsor FTEpartsguy.com (Ed Olson @ Parr Ford in Bremerton WA) for assistance.

FTE members get discounts on all new Ford parts off the actual Ford MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price).

Bronco Graveyard also has the lockout parts, maybe the seal kits, dunno.

Power Steering Control Valve: 1974 High Boy's after serial # T80,001 and all 1975/77.5's use the BENDIX type.

1974's before serial # T80,001 and all 1973's use the GARRISON type.

These two control valves are totally different and will not interchange.

 

..and pay retail price or maybe more for parts that can be bought from FoMoCo for 25% (or more) off MSRP.

When new parts are still available from Ford, where do you think the various aftermarket speciality suppliers are buying them from?

Their local Ford dealer, then they mark up the prices up accordingly.

 

fte parts guy dont have the the P/S: ram cylinder seal kit i check last week for my 75 hi boy he does have the bushings

 

I just checked, it is still available from Ford. Maybe you gave Ed the wrong info.

Ed usually contacts me when he needs part numbers for 1979 and earlier vehicles, because he doesn't have any parts catalogs prior to 1980.

I haven't heard a peep oughtta him inre to these parts.

does Navarre have the bushing kit and do u know how many pieces come in the seal kit cuz i called and he said it was open and dont know if its all the hi said he would sell it to me for 25.00

 

sorry it took me so long to get back i was out of town but i did check some of the places you guys said to find parts and i seemed to have no luck i called like 20 ford dealers and they all told me no they havent had that lockout in 15 years and all the others places just didnt seem to have it either so i just wanted to make sure were all on the same page i have the extremly big hubs and lockouts the chrome 5 bolt allens with the red plastic center but with no luck im a metal fabricator with my own fab shop so me and a machinist i know are makeing new one with aluminum centers instead of plastic but thanks for ur help

 

just throw a new set of warns in there. a set for a dana 60 should be the right ones. that has a 44 center section and 60 outers.

 

Why take a chance and buy a kit that has been opened?

It was opened for a reason, and my guess as to why is....

A mechanic in the Ford dealers shop was installing a kit and ruined one of the parts (that is not uncommon, trust me!).

So the other kit the dealer had was opened and a part was robbed from it. It's possible the defective part was put back into the bag. PASS!

This kit comes in a vacuum sealed plastic bag, so it's EZ to tell if the bag has been opened.

There are other dealers that have it, as does Wesley Obsolete Parts in KY that has two.

D3TZ3C590A .. P/S Ram Bushing (Mounting) Kit / This kit is still available from Ford according to Ed (FTEparts guy).

MSRP: $39.22 / FTEpartsguy.com price: $28.24

Two sources in Ohio have this kit. Navarre isn't one of them.

I doubt you will be able to buy it for the above net price. And you'll still have to pay shipping charges, regardless.

Green Sales Company (greensalescompany.com) in Cincinnati, has 5: 800-543-4959.

Beau Townsend Ford in Vandalia has one.
