77 150 4x4 Spindle Problem

Hey everybody, I need some help, I decided to replace the front wheel bearings on my 77 and ran into a lot more than I bargained for. Only now I'm stuck. I have to replace nearly everything, only I can't find a replacement thrust washer(spacer) for between the spindle and axle. Please help!! Any help, big or small would be appreciated.

I just replaced front axle u-joints and spindle bearing on my 79 f250 4x4. Went to a local Ford dealer and lucky for me they had them in stock.

I have had good luck with both napa and carquest. They may or may not have it in stock, but seem to be able to get the weirdest stuff.

Thanks for the ideas guys! I was trying to avoid the Ford dealership here because out of 14 people, not 1 of them knows how to look up anything older than '85. I got the
sbk1 seal kit, but no spacer/thrust washer. I haven't tried Napa yet, they just closed down here in Macon, but I can try Jackson. Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated!

Oreily's!? I have been working with the two wholesale sales people over threr for 2 weeks on this, they show no listing. Do you, by chance, have a part # or even brand name (ie. dorman?). Either way thanks for the info. I'll keep lookin.

By the way www.pavementsucks.com/tech/dana44hub11.jpg shows the washer if anyone's curious as to what I'm talking about. Thanks again.

Welcome to FTE

Ford part number: D2TZ1198A .. Retainer Kit

MSRP: $19.15 / FTEpartsguy.com price: $13.79.

Since it's still available from Ford, where do you think NPD is buying them from?

Closest dealer to "Middle GA" that has it: Valdosta L/M has one.

While your local parts guy may be clueless, I typed the Ford part number from memory. I only needed to get the prices.

Thanks for your help guys. I just finished up this weekend. NPD came thru. 4 spacers for under $20. It's all one piece again. Time to beat on it some more!!
