1980 ford f150

[Tizzler]

Need a radius arm for a 3 1/2 inch I beam all I'm finding is 5 inch I beam

Look up for a 79.

Up untill 82ish they ran the forged beams that were narrower. Im guessing all the parts catalogs dont realize that and think 80-86 were all the same.

Im not 100% sure if Econoline ones will interchange but they ran the forged beams till 91

Like i said not sure the Econoline will work but its worth a look.

That sounds like you’re looking for a 2wd radius arm and only finding 4wd one. Try looking for one for a F100 of the same year… they only came in 2wd.

I couldnt find any 2wd radius arms for the older style beams. 80/81 ran forged beams like the older trucks.

The newer style radius arms are everywhere

Guess they ran both styles from 80-83

I rebuilt my 73 E300 Van front end in the early 80s (I'm thinking 83) and I can't say positive but do believe that they were very much alike even then, I pulled the springs and redid kingpins and such
