1966 Ford F100 Custom Cab 4WD SWB 352 NP-435

There are two plastic bushings on the clutch rod between the clutch pedal and the frame mounted lever that transfers the clutch pedal movement to the throw out for the clutch, one on each end. I have also managed to lose one of the washers.

ND or others any help would be appreciated, could use two of them minimum......thanks as always, m.

 

Dude! Curious. OK, I just gotta ask. Do you not have a copy of the 1964-1972 parts catalog so you can look this stuff up yourself? Best $20 I think I've ever spent. I know you are getting close to done so probably too late to bother. Anyway....


Look at this pic and tell us what base number you are after, assuming you see it here, for the 2 plastic bushings. Is it 7543? I assume you are talking about the Z-bar equalizer.





If so then the part should be


C1AA-7543-A


I can quickly see 800 available NOS at 11 sellers, but that's just this one site. Here's a link, if that's the number you are after.


C1AA-7543-A | RearCounter.com | 800 found at 11 sellers


Here's some on eBay for a visual comparison.

Might not make a difference in the end, but he has a 4x4 not a 2x4, in this case. Ford, who would ever think? Lol. Good job.

ND, thanks!

7526 (COAZ-7526-B) appears to be the part I was looking for, it is on the 7521 push rod. The previous TA455HO drawing does not match my physical clutch/brake pedal setup??

I do appreciate all of the help.

I am going to start trying to post photos showing my tear down and refurb of my truck. I tend to avoid dealing with the learning of technology/wayfinding of yet another website (FTE in this case), so I hope I can start filling in the blanks for everyone.

I am sure most of the process, parts and methods for restoration/modification/repair is probably old news here, but to me it is an exciting new thing to be privileged to have one of these trucks and the needed luxury of time/money to work on it.......my days (and nights and weekends) tend to be filled with customers that aren't always kind and typically overly demanding.......being able to seek out information here and work on this DST 4x4 allows me to escape from the daily pressures of rude customers and time deadlines.

ND (and others), the knowledge you have with these trucks is unbelievable and greatly respected, I am sure I turn here, maybe to often, to acquire what is to FTE, trivial information, however, it is not without full respect to everyone. The search function for this website leaves something to be desired, or when I do find information it is often filled with extraneous information not relevant to the part or problem, additionally, and as an example I did track down a needed part recently (another great ND post) to find that C5TZ-14448-E is now C7TZ-14448-C is now D3TZ-1448-A.....ND, I am glad you shorten the chase!

I hope to put this truck on the road for another generation.

I will try to figure out posting pictures (photobucket, etc.) to start my "re-payment" to the FTE website, thanks as always, m.

 

I posted the 1965/66 F100/250 (4x4), F350 page. The 1966 F100 4x4 must use the 2x4 setup I'm supposing.

Take a close look-see at the clutch release rod, as it has two 90 degree ends.

The bushings crack apart/disintegrate, the 90 degree ends begin to crack, eventually snap off. Not Pleasant!

The COAZ-7526-B clutch release rod & C1AA-7543-A equalizer bar .. nylon bushings are the same 2WD/4WD

1966 F100 4WD uses the same cab and many (but not all) of the related parts as 1965/66 F100/250 2WD

But there's no specific parts catalog pic for 1966 F100 4WD clutch and related parts, so I posted the 2WD pic instead.

 

I'm looking forward to some more pictures of this truck. He has a sneak preview of it and he does nice work from the look of it.

ND, it does have the 90 degree bends on each end, bushings are worn and edges are snapped off, I did just order them, and should have them early next week, chose Green Sales as they have always been a good supplier and reasonably priced, about $1.50 each + freight ($5.00 min order)......TA455HO, thanks for the input and compliments, you guys are better at this than me.....just a hobby and escape from reality for me....but none-the-less a nice escape, thanks for the help, all the discussion is very appreciated! m.

P.S. I will hopefully attempt a posting with pictures by end of week or maybe this evening, don't be surprised if I need help to figure this out!

 

I have had the end of that rod snap off before in traffic while sitting at a traffic light. Not fun. It broke on the crossover linkage from the frame to bell housing. Just welded a new end on it after getting the truck home by double clutching and starting the truck in gear the rest of the way home.
