Call your local Ford dealer, and with the OEM box number Joe gave you see if he can give you their number for the pitman arm. Maybe swing by your local 4x4 shop and see if they have anything that matches your splines, too.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

It is a NONE wear item so you'll have to find on at a junk yard, swap meet or car/truck forums.
And I am asking over on HAMB to see if anyone may have one, if so I'll forward the info to u.....joeLast edited by TooMany2count; 01-19-2013 at 06:36 PM.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
