rag joint?

Where is the rag joint located on my 69 f250 4x4? I cant find it for the life of me. A picture would be a big help

No rag joints on 4WD's of this vintage.

Instead of a "rag joint" (steering coupler), it's actually a Shaft & Coupling Assy.

Illustration: 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog - Section 35, page 9.

This parts catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com & also on ebay.

EVERYONE that owns a truck of this vintage should have this catalog.

Steering coupling (Rag Joint) / None listed in the text, or pictured for 1965/72 F100/250's with 4WD.

3A525 = 2WD Rag Joint / Text = Section 35 / Page 15

3B676 = 4WD Shaft & Coupling / Text = Section 35 / Page 16 (listed under basic #3A526)

Section 35; Page 4 = this illustration in the 73/79 catalog is similar to what is shown in the 1964/72 parts catalog.

The 64/72 parts catalog sez F100/250 4WD, not just F250 4WD as the 73/79 catalog illustration states.
