Lower spring mount

Hey guys, i was putting my new front springs on today and on the driver side where there is a bolt with a threaded stud sticking up that holds the spring down broke off, anyone know where i can get a new one or what the actual name is? there is a big nut and washer that thread onto this stud to keep the spring in place, the bottom part of the bolt is there but i cannot tell what else it holds together...i can take pics of necessary....thanks for info, truck is a 90 f150 4x4 w/ the twin I beam

388764-S100 .. Threaded Stud-on both ends ---I--- (there is no bolt).

Applications: 1980/90 F150 4WD & Bronco.

Sorry, no Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. Try: broncograveyard.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1991/96 F150 4WD & Bronco > >

390678-S100 .. Threaded Stud 5/8" -11 3/4" -10 x 4.9 / Available from Ford.

This looks the same as 388764-S100, but prolly has different specs. It might work, but since I cannot find the *&^&% specs for 388764-S100, I dunno one way or t'other.

The only dealer in OH that has any is: MATHEWS FORD in Newark (ENE of Columbus) has ONE = 740-522-2181.

There is no cross reference inre to 388764-S100 being replaced by 390678-S100, because 388764-S100 is C = Cancelled, obsolete, not serviced, not replaced.

Look at the parts catalog illustration for 1991/96 F150 4WD & Bronco, the stud (390678-S100) looks similar.

I too have the Ford Dealer Parts Locator and PartsVoice.com, so I know no one has 388764-S100.

Mathews Ford is listed on PartsVoice, not on the dealer locator.

Prolly 25% of the FoMoCo Dealers are not listed on the dealer locator, that's why PartsVoice is important when searching for FoMoCo obsolete parts.

Anyone can access PartsVoice, but that isn't the case with the dealer locator.
