Finding a part #

Out of my own stupidity and should have followed my gut I have bent my drive shaft about a couple months ago. Its not super bad but i know its putting stress on my u-joints and soon ill be able to afford to finally fix it. Finding the correct part online is becoming a chore and I dont have the part number. From my experience part numbers can vary per box box stores so I am looking for the actual FORD part number. OR if you know anyone that is selling one please send them my way. I just want to get the part number so it makes my life a lot easier or buy the part from someone. Please dont recommend ebay to me, me and their payment system never got along so i gave up on it years ago.

Truck is a 83 F150 standard cab long bed
4.9 I6 300CU engine
Manual tranny 4 speed (4th overdrive)

You need to go to the drive shaft shop in your area and have one made.

Assuming 2WD.

The Ford catalog says it mostly depends on your rear axle ratio...

I see six different possible part numbers... if you have a 2.47 or 3.08 gear ration, ignore the part numbers with black stars as they are obsolete (BUT you can sometimes find obsolete versions at places that sell NOS stuff).
"r/b" = "replaced by"
e.g. E7TZ-4602-U was superseded (replaced) by F0TZ-4602-B

There is one entry in that list that doesn't specify a gear ratio... so what does it fit? No idea...

It looks like there were two different yokes used, too.

It's no wonder you're having a hard time trying to find this stuff online, lots of possibilities... good luck with that...
