When posing questions, you need to be more specific. Please list year (1967), model (F100), engine size (352), and transmission type (3 M/T). If you stated "I need the bracket that the rods attach to, near firewall" instead of "one of the brackets" it makes it easier to discern exactly what is needed. When posting pics, a device pointing at the part is a help, too.

Hi, I'm restoring my '72, and want to bring the throttle linkage back to it's original state also. Are there any good schematics anywhere showing how the rods and brackets are positioned? Just got the bracket on top of the manifold of ebay (but is a little different from the one in the poster's gallery).
Any help is very appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Motoxtj,
I always find a lot of parts on ebay. Here in europe there are no F100's in the salvage yards ( but everytime when I'm in the US, I visit some).
Make a favourite search for '72 ford truck' or something like that, and over time the parts you need will propably come by.
Good luck hunting..

I actually did a Google search the other day on the part number that Bill listed above and the only hits I got were from Ebay, and the guy's auction had already ended. It was a brand new NOS part, and Tyler, I suspect your chances of finding a new one are limited. What was the problem with wrecking yard brackets...couldn't find one, or the ones you did find were already worn out?
Anyhow, my local yard has several bumpsides. I'm going there later this week or this weekend to pick up a tranny, I'll take a look at the throttle linkage brackets they have and see what kind of shape they're in. The one on my '68 is really sloppy, but not weakened and broken/repaired like yours is. I'll see if they have any that are tighter than mine and let you know.

Hmm...Bill, I suspect you've confused this thread with another you've responded to recently...(I'm not surprised, with all your posts I wonder how you can keep track..
)
He doesn't have a 302, he has a '67 352 FE and he's talking about the actual bracket (bellcrank) that attaches to the back of the manifold, remember? No cables...

Edited out....with my usual sarcastic comment-that I direct towards myself.
And time spent here is costing me elsewhere on a non vehicle site, so I'm cutting back..a bit.

That's what happens when you spread yourself too thin...time I spend on here is time I'm not actually turning wrenches on my many projects. But there's something that keeps pulling me back...

No! We need you Bill as your the number 2 man next to old Henry Ford.
Those throttle linkages are sloppy from day one new, i'm on the 3rd one after 36 years and over 940K miles use.
When they are cleaned and lubed they still work great.
