Just go to Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and plug in your truck. where you live, and what you want. Local yards will come up that might have what you need.
I know you live in PA and have a f150 but you didn't put in the correct year, so I will let you look it up.

So my radius arms look EXACTLY as the ones in this photo. I have a 1981 150 custom 2wd. Im guessing the correct original code for the part was E2TZ-3A360-B. The aftermarket part being F1TZ-3A360-B, correct? wanting some confirmation before i purchase. They are saying they are made for a 96 4x2 2wd truck so idk. Thanks for the help

Looks like you have the old I beam front axle. Be careful, the later axles are welded up and formed metal. I punched in your truck on car-part and it brought up late model radius arms as fitting up, but I don't know, I would still get more confirmation before I ordered them.

F1TZ-34360-B arms. Picture 2
It seems like they are 1 solid peice with no holes in them, mine have the 2 oval like holes on both sides and 2 round holes, the only similarity i see are that the front shocks mount to both radius arms. So the real question is are the F1TZ-34360-B arms the same size as the E0-TZ-3A60-B arms. Comparing picture 2 to my previous post though, they are extremely similar.
(AND FURTHER INFO, I HAVE TWIN IBEAM)

haha, will do, you just gotta help me do all the work room and board food and its free. deal?! ;P really tho i think i might just buy them and tell you guys what happens...
And further evidence, the EOTZ-3A360-D arms look exactly like ones i saw underneath another 1981 4wd 5 spd. so, those aint them
