I got the radius arm blues.
I took the 69er to the alignment shop this AM and they told me to replace the kingpins and radius arm bushings first. I have the front end completely out of my truck already. On the way out 1 radius arm broke near the threads and the other doesnt have much metal left where it goes through the mount. I cannot find new anywhere. Ford is a no, LMC no....Does anyone know where I can get a set of new 2wd radius arms for an 83 f-250 diesel in a hurry? I can't even find a set in the junkyard around here that isn't just as destroyed. Tomorrow the kingpins get pressed in then I can sit in the corner and cry until I find the arms. Any ideas?

I found a set at a junk yard here for 45 bucks each. I think they are from a 1-ton but they were in really good shape. Now I have to find someone willing to put in some new kingpins and I'll be ready to roll. Breman, I live in Apollo, PA. Spitz couldn't even help me out.

Yep, I ended up at North Apollo, 10 minutes away. 45 bucks each, Ford's list price was 85 each but no longer make them. North Apollo does have everything but are pretty high. They won't even let me go into the yard
