I think you are looking for a "coil spring bucket"? Are you looking for the part that the front suspension coil spring mounts in on a F100 or F150 2wd and or 4wd? And it is bolted to the frame rail?

And or "radius arm brackets"? Normally riveted to the frame, and is how you mount and connect the end of the radius arm to the frame.

F250 2wd you have coil spring buckets, 4wd you just have "shock towers"? F250 4wd has front leaf springs.

351M/400 is NOT a boat anchor....straight up time it, with a 70 to 71 year timing set.

Have you looked at Dorman or any of the sponsors at the top?

You need the thing in the red circle, right?

Keep me posted if you need any frame components. I'm about to dismantle a 74 frame (same as yours) and can section/disassemble/un-rivet just about anything you need.

TWO different types of 5A306's, see edited post #12.

GVW stamped on the 3rd line-far left of the Warranty Plate, riveted to the left door face below the latch.
