FYI: Steering u joint part #

Thought it would be hard to find a steering u joint for my 68 f100 4x4. I was wrong. Went to my local parts store and got a Precision part #861. Works perfect and was only $15. Hope this will help somebody.

No rag joint used on the following 4WD's:

1966 F100 4WD, 1967/75 F100/250 4WD: Lower steering shaft and coupler uses a clamp and thru bolt to connect it to the input shaft of the steering gearbox.

E2HZ-3815-A (replaced C6TZ-3815-B) .. U-Joint-Lower Steering Shaft & Coupler.

Applications: 1966 F100 4WD / 1967/75 F100/250 4WD // 1966/86 C Series Tilt Cabs.
