Strange Clutch Fork

Heres a major puzzle for ya.
1983 F 250 300ci T-18 4 speed transmission.
Clutch fork has a dual spring clip set up riveted into it. One clip for the Pivot ball and a fork clip for the throw out bearing.
Cannot Find one of these. Can find the wrong ones, but not this one.
And Get This: Its not specific to the motor. its specific to the Bell Housing /Trans
They only used these in 1983's but used them in 300ci , 302's and 351W's

Anyone got one of these?

Lots of confusion over part number. E3TZ-7515-B or E3TZ-7515-D

Dose that setup go for the Bronco also? IF so have you tried JBG for one?
What is wrong with that one?
It might be easier to get a earlier bell & fork if that fork is only for the bell.

Besides what is wrong with that fork is this for clutch linkage set up or juice clutch?

I wish I could remember what mine in my linkage 81 looked like but its been years since I had mine apart.

This is specifically for a 1983 Manual(T-18 trans) clutch setup. The pivot retaining clip is broken and the tips of the Throw out bearing retaining clip are badly worn. Hate to put this back in and have it go out on me in a few months.

When I was working on this stuff on my 1981 400/T-18, National Parts Depot had what I was looking for; you have to call them and talk to a person, not everything they have is listed on their web site.
