Ball Bearings

I'm certain I'm not the only one this has happened to. So I was cleaning out the cab and I went to dump all the pennies out of the ashtray and the ball bearings fell out. Can someone tell me what size these are so I can run over to my local hardware store and pick some up? Just in case it matters this is for a 69' F100 Ranger

I just looked at Green Sales' website: They have 669 of these puppies.

Most people just call and order the parts, but you typed the part number into their website.

But, you typed it wrong, but you didn't know this.

I type part numbers as they are shown in parts catalogs, but when typing part numbers into websites, REMOVE the hyphen(s)!

Type the number like this: 354872S (no hyphen between 2 & S).

Green Sales' inventory also listed on PartsVoice.com & rearcounter.com

Ok found the correct size, they are 11/32". Instead of the old nickel chrome plated I found some stainless steel bearings.

2X. Neither is that number in my 2004 Standard Parts Book. I remember it being a standard size though. Like 5/16" or 3/8".
OP, I suggest you take one of the remaining steel ***** you have down to the hardware store as a sample. Why pay freight and wait for some 354872-S?

Yep already tried that, gotta love my old ACE Hardware store ! Unfortunately they only had the most common size (5/16, 3/8 etc.) Just a bit of trivia for those Blue bloods out there: These are also found in the hydraulic pump's and PTO's in old Ford tractors.
