Yes, it is.

The root of driveline lash. A bunch of flapping about.

HA HA HA! That's funny right there.

I'm the Grammar Gestapo around here, and I'm ALWAYS correcting people when they use the wrong word. There/Their/They're, To/Too/Two, Then/Than, Your/You're, etc...

I have been shamed...

Of course you're correct. And If I keep this post going much longer, it will be filled with drivel.

Now, if I just had a basketball...

Oh never mind. I'll just sit here and slobber.

Punctuation save lives, as well.

"Let's eat, Grandma" or "Let's eat Grandma".

The part arrived today.

I also reported this in my build thread, but for those of you interested in this part, I received it today from Red's Vintage Parts.

It is exactly the correct part, looks to be NOS, and I will update my build thread when I have installed both brackets.

Thanks for your help and for your interest.

We can remove this from the NOSU list. (New Old Stock Unobtanium)

Joe, I guess I will be making one of those brackets for my truck. I contacted Red's and that was the only one they had. I'm glad you were able at least to get one. I was like you until you asked about it here, I didn't know Ford even made a RH bracket for our trucks.

Wow. I have mixed emotions about this, but I'm not surprised it was the only one they had. I was surprised anyone had any. Ilya said they were made of unobtanium...

I will admit I'm glad I ordered before you did!

If I can help with your fabrication in any way, let me know. Dimensions, angles, whatever.

EDIT: And a huge Thank You to 38 coupe for sending the link to Red's Vintage Parts website. I would never have found this part without his help.

Joe, Thanks for the offer for the measurements. I should be able to get all I need from the LH one. At least I am assuming it is a mirror image of the RH one. I'm glad you beat me to it.
Thanks again, Mark

It is an exact mirror image of the left one.

Given the discussion above, I think we can add it to the list now...

See, that's the thing. Only one in stock, and I got it. But only because you found it at Red's, which I had never heard of, so wouldn't have looked for it there.

Yes, it is made of unobtainium, and goes back on the NOSU list.
