There are probably similar threads out there. Sorry if this is redundant. I have been going to salvage yards and pulling parts. I came across this part (see pic). I believe the part has something to do with the power steering pump. Although, I am probably wrong. If I recall correctly, it was mounted near the water pump and above the crank pulley. Any info is greatly appreciated. I welcome any post involving parts from the 67-72 generation truck to be posted here and we will try to help each other out.

 

That's a PS pump bracket.. for an FE. a "late" version - 1970 and newer.

 

Hmm I'd say it's a power steering mounting bracket. It looks upside down.
The right end should have a tab the a hole into where a threaded stud with a nut that comes through that adjusts the PS pump belt.

You would have to loosen the three studded nuts in to three slotted holes for the pump to move as the end stud-nut adjustment nut is turned that pulls the pump outward tightening the belt.

Was this used in just 8 cylinder trucks? I tried to find the bracket in the schematics and could never find it.

 

There are two different P/S pump mounting brackets. The P/S pump adjusting bracket bolts to the front of the pump.

The P/S pump support bracket (what the OP pictured), bolts to the adjusting bracket, then to the block.

It might be one of the following, but which I dunno, as there's no exact pic of the OP's example.

C5SZ-3C511-A .. P/S Pump Support Bracket: 1966 F100/250 352 / 1965/66 Thunderbird 390 / 1966 Thunderbird 428.

C7TZ-3C511-D .. P/S Pump Support Bracket: 1967 F100/250 352 - 1968/70 F100/250 360/390 - 1969/70 F350 360/390 - 1971/72 F100/350 360/390 with Power Pak (Onan generator).

D0AZ-3C511-E .. P/S Pump Support Bracket: 1969/74 F100 302 / Misc 1970/72 Ford/Merc 302 Passenger Cars.

D3TZ-3C511-A .. P/S Pump Support Bracket: 1973/76 F100/250 2WD & F350 360/390.

Note: There may be an ID Engineering number stamped on the support bracket.

 

Thanks Bill. I'll clean it up and see if I find a number on it.

 

Please identify the year, engine size and possibly style of this power steering pump bracket

 

Is this a Thompson pencil neck Power steering bracket?

 

It is a power steering bracket for an FE block from 73-79 with factory air. it looks upside down by design. it was designed in order to create more room between the top of the bracket and the bottom of the A/C pump bracket. If you have a "normal" late model PS bracket, compare the two. The "inverted" PS bracket has more angle to the dangle.

 

FE engines cancelled at the end of the 1976 model run.

If you're claiming this is from a 1973/76 F100/350 w/an FE engine, it has to be this: D1AZ-3A732-A .. P/S Pump Adjusting Bracket (with/without A/C makes no difference on all of the following).

Applications: 1971/73 Galaxie/LTD 302/351C/351W/400 / 1974 LTD 351C/351W/400 with Ford P/S pump / 1975/77 LTD 351M/351W/400 with Ford P/S pump.

1971/76 F100/350 360/390 / 1977 F100/350 351M/400/460.

 

Bill, this one came from a 78 but don't know if was original to the truck.

Thanks

 

I think that last one is from a 300-6 with the newer style plastic housing pump.

 

Notice that the parts applications in post #10 are no newer than 1977. This is due to TWO different P/S pumps.

1965/77: Ford/Thompson P/S pump has a steel reservoir, P/S pressure hose threads onto the pump.

Beginning 1978: Ford C-II P/S pump has a plastic reservoir, P/S pressure hose connects to the pump w/a qwik connect fitting.

Since FE engines were cancelled in 1976, no P/S mounting brackets will fit the C-II pump, which is also a different shape than the Ford/Thompson pump.

 

What year did the adjustable nut type PS bracketry come out?
Ive done a few of the later model PS pump bracket swap because i get tired of the pry bar and tight gig. late model water pump bracket, late model PS pump bracket. no headaches.

 

The cab floor
of 1967 through 1972 trucks contain rubber non threaded bolts that are by the seatbelt mounting points. There are two of these on these trucks. Can anyone, possibly Bill, provide additional information on these? Part numbers, purpose? I was thinking these may be where an auxiliary fuel line may run? Just a guess.
