Are Z-bars still available for 66 F-250's?
Will I just have to rebuild mine?

 

NPD has the z-bars, not sure if f250 is any different than f100.

 

I'm assuming this is a 2WD.

The two: nylon bushings, felt washers and snap rings are still available from Ford.

These parts have always been sold separately, so if you bought a new equalizer (Z) bar (now obsolete), you still had to buy these parts.

2) C1AA7543A .. Nylon Bushing / MSRP each: $3.75 // FTEpartsguy.com price each: $2.70.

2) 358979S .. Felt Washer / MSRP each: $1.60 // FTEpartsguy.com price each: $0.96.

2) 97474S .. Snap Ring / MSRP each: $1.80 // FTEpartsguy.com price each: $1.08.

It's a good idea to replace the two clutch rod nylon bushings at the same time..still available from Ford.

These bushings fit on the 90 degree ends of the rod that runs from the clutch pedal to the equalizer bar.

What happens: The bushings wear, fall apart, then the two 90 degree ends begin to crack, then snap off.

Not pleasant, and when that rod snaps, you aren't going anywhere...and the rod is a very hard to find part..new or used.

MSRP each: $2.05 // FTEpartsguy.com price each: $1.48.
