Radius Arm Bushings

Does anybody have NOS radial arm bushings for a 1966 f250. I cant seem to find any, plenty of repops though.
The ford part number is C5TZ 3B203 C

Thanks Matt

C was superceded by E so unless you are being very selective maybe something like this will do?

I've held both and they are quite similar.

There are two of these 3B203 radius arm bushings per side. The 2 3/8" long inner bushing is different than the 1 3/16" long outer bushing.

C5TZ-3B203-E (replaced C5TZ-3B203-C) is the inner bushing // C5TZ-3B203-D (replaced C5TZ-3B203-B) is the outer bushing.

Applications: 1965/75 F100/250 2WD // 1973/74 E100/300 // 1975/86 E100/350

I, personally don't care for NOS parts that are rubber....which is now over 50 years old. I would be concerned about oxidation and short life. You can get the same thing in polyurethane which will last a long time.

Gotta say I agree about using old rubber instead of new (Repop) poly in this case. I replaced mine with new on my F-100 and do not have any issues with them at all.
