Need help with Part ID
Hello all,
I am slowly working on fixing all the issues with my steering, I have a rebuilt steering box and control valve to put in but I still have one more part. The steering linkage between the column and the steering box. I took pictures they are in my album called steering part. Specifically the end that connects to the steering box looks busted and has a lot of play, both rotational as well as forward and backward. The other end(column side) looks alright other than it looks like it could use a good cleanup. Is the steering box end rebuildable?
Or if someone has a part number, that would be great as I cannot seem to find one.

D2TZ-3B676-A Lower coupling assy., includes yoke and shaft assy.
No dealer or obsolete parts supplier has any.
Borgeson makes a replacement that does away with the lower coupling.

Many individual parts are available including the u-joint, unlike the 1976/79 couplers that are one piece assemblies.
There's no rag joint (1976/79 only), the coupler attaches to the input shaft of the gearbox with a clamp and thru bolt.
The whole enchilada is shown here in an exploded view: Illustration Section 35, page 14: 1973/75 F100/250 4WD

Why buy the whole enchilada since individual parts can be bought for it? Might buy it cheap from Koehn, but Green Sales will want a kings ransom. 
Last MSRP was over 500 bucks.

OP: Look at the parts catalog pic (thanks Mike): 3D699 is the clamp, 384192-S is the thru bolt.
If this isn't what you need, pick out the parts you do, post the numbers.
