Front leaf spring bushing question
I have a 64 f100/223 engine. I have looked in LMC for a front leaf spring bushing kit and they ask for the ID of the spring. They only show a kit for the 1 1/8" diameter spring and it is for a 61'. I was wondering whether the 61' and 64' shared the same front shackle components? They show seperate pieces for the 2" ID, but the rectangular pieces in between the front bushings are not listed seperately for purchase. Mine are twisted and need to be replaced. Thanks in advance.

1961/64 F100 2WD
C1TT-5781-D .. Front Spring FRONT Bushing / 1 1/8" O.D. / 9/16" I.D. / 2 1/2" long.
C1TZ-5348-A .. Front Spring REAR Bushing / 2" O.D / 9/16" I.D. / 2 1/2" long.
If you cannot get these parts from LMC, I found 29 front bushings, 36 rear bushings NOS. These are just the bushings.
If you want front shackle & bushing kits, rear spring bushing kits (both come with the bolts, nuts, washers), I may be able to locate some.
I found these same parts for FTE member flipklos who has the same truck you do.

4) C1TT-5468-E .. Front Spring Shackle Bar-Inner & Outer = These come with the shackle kits or could be purchased separately / 1961/64 F100/250 2WD.
These bars are rectangular, have two holes for bolts to pass thru, one is used on the frame side, the other on the outer side.
The front of the spring uses shackles to mount it to the frame, the rear of the spring has a frame mounted bracket on either side.
The end of the spring nestles into this bracket, a bolt passes thru the bracket-then thru spring & bushing, a lock washer & nut ties it all together.

Thanks ND. If you can locate the front kits I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know what I will do with the pieces I have, but you can never have enough spare parts laying around right?

Each kit includes (2) bars, (1) spring bushing, (1) shackle bushing and all the mounting hardware (bolts/nuts/washers).

FREESE MOTORS in Monticello IA has 2 = 319-465-3541.
NORTZ & VIRKLER FORD in Lowville NY has 4 = 315-376-6594.
JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has 4 = 615-443-3086.
GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 7 = 800-543-4959.

--------------------------------------------------------------
2) C1TZ5304A .. Front Spring REAR Bushing & Hardware Kit / Obsolete
Each kit consists of the spring bushing and the mounting hardware.
NORTZ & VIRKLER FORD has 2
FREESE MOTORS has 4
JST AUTOMOTIVE has 5
MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS has 21
GREEN SALES CO. has 33
Call around for the best prices, the dealers are usually cheaper than the obsolete parts vendors.
The dealers are STUCK with the parts since they can no longer be returned to FoMoCo for credit. The obsolete parts vendors are in the business of selling obsolete parts,
