Re: 83 f150 4x4 clutch fork

MILLS
ok thanks,

I have since repaired the part with some spring metal from a concrete spreader tool.  cut and wire welded to the open side of the spring. a little tough to shape without breaking. fits like a glove on the ball joint pivot point now

I am looking for this exact same clutch fork. Can anyone steer me to the right place to get one?  Or sell me one?

You may have missed the email you were sent asking you to go to the New Members Start Here folder, read the guidelines, and then introduce yourself by starting a new thread in that folder.  Don't worry, many people do miss it.  But that step is important as we hold everyone to the guidelines so want to make sure you've read them.

So please assure me you have before posting further?

Introductions made.

 Has anyone found a source for these or even the clip portion that breaks up? I would gladly take a used one if anyone has one.
What a nightmare for people with a 1983 F150/250 with a 6 cyl , 302, or 351W.
As far as Ive been able to tell, Ford only did this in 1983.

Thanks for the intro.  As far as a repair, I've not seen anyone say they found something that will fit.  But hopefully someone will come forward with an easy fix.

And yes, that is a one-year unicorn.
