Need to find a new one for my 68. Where would you buy one?

 

Check your local parts store.

 

Please, when asking questions, list all the pertinent info. We are not mind readers.

1968 what, F100, F250 or? With or without P/S, 2WD or 4WD?

This was a Ford dealer part only, so you aren't going to find it in any auto parts store.

It's also obsolete, so the only hope you have of finding it, is if someone has it NOS

 

List the pertinent information and I will come up with one. You won't find them in any auto parts store, they are a non wear item.

 

68 2wd, no power steering, 3 on tree

 

C7TZ-3590-C .. Pitman Arm - Use with Manual Steering / Marked with ID number: C7TA-3590-N / Obsolete

1967/70 F100/250 2WD / 1971 F100/250 2WD before serial number M00,001.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any NOS, none on ebay.

Note: There are 3 used Pitman Arms on ebay, they are listed under their ID number: C7TA-3590-N

The sellers have listed the wrong applications, this arm was not used in 1966. There are more application errors:

Despite what the sellers claim, it was also used in 1970 and on some 1971's. There were no F150's until 1975 and this arm was not used after 1971.

 

F you still need one, here's a steering box with the Pitman Arm on Ebay:

Did you find a pitman arm?

 

Not yet. I need one for no power steering.

 

Let me see what I have at home tonight.

 

Will the one in the link I provided not work? It says manual steering.

 

If fe960pc does not have it. I do. from a 68 f100 non power steering truck. manual on the floor. Email me if needed. chircolandinc@gmail.com

 

What is the difference between the PS arm and the manual arm?
An inch in length maybe? It's been a long time since I've seen a manual setup in these trucks so I don't remember.

 

P.M me if you still need one.

 

They are pretty much all the same from other makes but the only difference is that some were turned 45 degrees. But a quick fix is to just grind down the 4 opposing large splines.

I've never heard of one wearing out, what happened to yours?
