66 4x4, I would like to know what bushings or bearings I need to re-build it, I can hold the wheel and move it quite a bit. I was on dennis carpenters and all I seen was 4x2 or 66-71 parts. Id rather not take it apart until I find parts, local parts place was clueless.

 

F100 or F250 as each use a different column.

In the process of ordering components to rebuild the column on the 65 with 4 speed and noticed in item description the lower bearing retainer needs to be welded on. Don't recall doing so with last rebuild and probaly why lower retainer is loose. Have an oxy/acel setup, curious if it can be done by self, with minimum welding skills, fiqure something I can do if only requires tacking, or suggest take it to welder.

 

So do I need all of those parts? I take it the upper bearing and retainer are the same for 4wd.

The replacement lower bearing retainer is a replacement for the stock on which is welded to the column tube.

Typically if the bearing gets eaten up the sheet metal is also.

Appreciate the info; ordered the components to include the retainer and know more once the column has been disassembled. After posting recalled I had to shorten the column shaft for the power steering and don't remember the condition of the retainer, definately can see it's loose. Once I can establish the retainers proper position I will take it in and have it welded. Thanks again!!!.

 

You asked for the bearings and since there are two (plus the retainers), this is what I listed.

The upper bearing is the same 2WD/4WD as is its retainer.

Sanderson Ford in Glendale AZ has 4 of the obsolete C6TZ3518A's...unless Dave waltzed over there and bought all of them.

 

1965/66 F100/250 2WD. There are two lower retainers.

The part you're speaking of is C5TZ3D681A .. Steering Column Lower Bearing Retainer. This part may not need to be replaced.

There is also B1AZ3518A .. Steering Column Tube Bearing Retainer aka Sleeve. This encompasses the bearing (C3DZ3517A).

I hate to be a nag, but...if y'all had the parts catalog, you would never need to look for or ask to see a picture again.

The exploded view of entire 2WD steering column and related parts is pictured here: 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Illustration Section 35, Page 8.

Available on a CD from hipoparts.com for 22 bucks.

I know you have the catalog...Dave, cuz you borrowed my CD on 6/25/2010 (when you were here attending the Western Nats) to download it into you 'puter.

I haven't seen hide nor hair of it since.

 

Well I appreciate it bill, one day ill get the disk. Thanks

 

Dave borrowed my CD, hasn't returned it yet. I told ipso dipso (Iso Grifo) he could borrow it from Dave. Dunno if he did or not.

If you live near Dave (Glendale), you could borrow it...but sooner or later, preferably sooner...I want it back.

This CD has traveled further than I have recently....to Escondido and back (AirHarley) and to Seattle and back (camperspecial65).

 

Yeah dave make me a copy and ill go to the meet next month lol.

 

Some one needs to reply to my PM in early July......Need an address for the USPS to deliver...LOL
