F100 C-4 kickdown cable

Guys, I need to put a kickdown linkage in my son's truck. With some big hills the truck needs it.

300 CI I-6, Carter YFA carb, and C-4 transmission.

Is lokar really my best option?? $75 for a cable? Any better ideas?

Are you missing all of it or just parts?
Here's the illustration from the Ford parts catalog, let me know what you need and I can do a search and see if any are avaiable.

I am missing everything. Don't have any component at all except for the lever on the transmission.

I doubt I'd be able to come up with all the parts individually, Ford never sold this unit as an assembly, you have to order piece by piece. You might try the salvage yards but their inventory is spotty at best and varies widely from area to area (my area has zip for anything older than '85).
Another thing, you might try posting a parts wanted add in the classifieds here. I'm sure there are some FTE'rs out there with what you need, you just gotta find them.

I went and double checked, I posted the wrong illustration. That one was for '73-'76, your '77 is different. The bellcrank is an assembly instead of individual pieces.
Other than standard hardware your setup is only two parts.
D8TZ-7A187-E Kick down rod
Earl Floyd Ford, Carrollton, KY has 1 (800) 732-2037

Bellcrank Assy.
D9TZ-7A185-A
Parts International, Farmers Branch, TX has 2 (972) 241-8730
NOS Parts Source, Olathe, KS has 1 (913) 220-5746
Vintage Parts Source, Beaver Dam, WI has 3 (877) 846-8243
Kinsel Lincoln Mercury, Beaumont, TX has 2 (800) 816-2849

I don't have a price on the kickdown rod, but the last list price on the bellcrank assy. was $313.52, dealer cost $188.11 (ouch!)

I built my own kick down rod out of 3/8 stainless tubing. Only took about 1/2 hour and it looks good too.
