67 radius arms

Post by Ohgoose »

Does anyone make new radius arms for a 67 f100 or is this just a junk yard find. I have one that is on the questionable side and figure since I am rebuilding the entire suspension now is the time to swap it out. What years would be compatible if I cannot find a 67 set?

When I was on the hunt for radius arms I was informed that radius arms from 67-79 will interchange. The set I found did come of of a later year truck and they were identical. Hope this helps!

Nobody makes these aftermarket, you'll have to find a good used one. The radius arms from '67-'72 are forged steel, the '73-'79 pieces are stamped steel. The later pieces will work, but they'll look different and require you to use the matching coil spring. It's better to just find one from a '67-'72.

Thanks guys I figured the junkyard was the answer, but didn't know which years would work.
