got it done

1966 F250....just the radius arm and axle bushings, 40 years and 140,000 miles on the originals, and it was 104 degrees and took six hours with the help of my son, these old bones don't move to fast anymore..now she rides like the day it came from the Factory and this is still with the factory alignment

Not totally knowledgeable on F250's, but could some-one cross reference the year models for F250's and maybe even 100's 4x4's to attain the brackets and maybe able to find one from your local auto yard from say a 72 model or something??
just a thought!

These are just a loop retainer with small bolt. You should be able to make them? And you can drive without them.

are these retainers to keep the spring from rotating??? the 66 has two bolts and the nuts are attached to the retainer..I was thinking about brazing them back together
