Gentlemen, looking for the part # for the 7A185 throttle linkage "trapeze" for my 69 F-250 with an auto trans and a 390.

thanks in advance your awesomnesses.

 

my original linkage seemed sloppy so I built this straight throttle linkage. Its on a 70 f250 with a 390.

 

Here you go:

 

I've done the same on my 67 but you lose a lot of feel in the pedal and it sets the accelerator pedal higher in the cab. Ford designed theirs this way for a reason.

 

I provided the basic part # but need the complete number with prefix and suffix, thanks.

 

68/69 F100/350 360/390 -A/T......C7TZ7A185A.

I lost no sensitivity and my pedal sits normally of the floor.

Really? If Ford did that for a reason, then why did they chuck it on the Dents?

 

Thanks Jeff, I ordered one this morning from Obsolete Reliable Parts. Only 30.00!

 

No problem

Glad I could help.

 

Well, I gotta say I like the simplicity of one rod vs all that. I was extremely surprised to see that on my truck, there's an anchor rod to stabilize the trapeze to the firewall. Man, that's a lot of parts. I'll post what I come up with, it'll be better than the baling wire, anyway.

 

I found a significant difference in pedal feel without the factory set up. Ford did this for a good reason and I like their design approach and goals for 60's era light trucks epically 4 wheel drive applications. I am in the process of reinstalling the trapeze setup and adapting it to a Ford 4bbl carb set up.

 

If is was such a grand design, why did Ford dump it in 1973?

 

I ended up making one when I changed intake manifold on mine. Could not get the down shift linkage to work correctly without it.
