I'm in the process of completing some major updates to my truck and I am having a helluva time finding the bushings for the main link rod that is held in place with a bracket on the transmission and the other on the frame. I'm figuring the only solution is with a 3D printer but I'm hoping to find some NOS bushings so I can finish this up. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Your set up looks similar to my 460 with E4OD. I only see one and it appears to be like 7C431. In looking at mine I can't see where the exact part would be worth the trouble for me. I don't do the kind of work you are doing so I would use a piece of rubber and drill a hole to size. I just don't see where they really perform enough as a bushing to worrying about not making my own. JMO Sandy
Stating what you are working on might help. Year, model, transmission and engine.
You're right. I've been so wrapped up in trying to find bushings that it didn't even occur to me to do so since these damn bushings have been all consuming.
The linkage is found on any F-Series or Bronco from 1987 to 1991 with an automatic transmission. The bracket on the frame is the same through all these years. The rest of the linkage is slightly different between the C6 and the E4OD but the bushings are the same. Honestly, I may end up making my own, but doing so with a 3D printer. However, I'd prefer to find a set of the correct or nearly correct bushings if it is even possible.

This is the same setup I'm working with. That number did bring up two possibilities. I sincerely thank you.

ND, they were just delivered and they are not what I need. I need the large bushing for the main connecting rod as shown below. I had to heat this one up to make it soft enough to remove and now it is no longer useable. Are you able to come up with the p/n for this one? Thanks

7C431 is a bellcrank bracket, not a bushing. The OP is being very vague on what he wants, he posts a parts catalog pic, the only bushing shown is 7341, but he now says this isn't what he wants.

I thought I was pretty clear from the outset that I'm looking for bushings. Not brackets. The arrows very clearly point to the bushing locations. Not sure how much clearer I can be. The only reason for the last image being late to the game is I thought I had lost it in my shop.
