Ok folks, have another one for ya. One of my radius arms is wore out, can a guy weld it and have it machined down, or should u replace it?
If I have to replace it, where can I get one: 1977 Ford F150 4WD
Please, when asking questions, list all the pertinent info. I read thru some of your other posts, discovered your truck has 4WD / 2WD parts are not the same!
D6TZ-3A360-A (replaced C6TZ-3A360-A & B) .. Radius Arm ~ Right/Left is the same / Obsolete
The areas where the bushings ride at the frame mount end of the radius rod were "wallowed" out on my 1978 4WD F150. I laid down a few beads and then ground the welds down smooth. I have had no issues thus far, but I would hate to see the aftermath of a failure, therefore take my advice at your own risk.
1978/79's use different radius arms. Notice that the applications for D6TZ-3A360-A are 1966/77.

No such Ford part number of D6TZ-3A360-C / Look at it again, it's either D4TZ-3A360-C or D8TZ-3A360-C .. as these are the only radius arms used in the 1970's w/a C suffix.
Hey wdfp that part isnt what I'm looking for its a radius arm but not the one I'm looking for thanks anyway
Hey NumberDummy quite a handle but I hear where your coming from. So what u r telling me then 1975/1977 F-150 4WD r the only ones that will fit my truck.Thanks
