Trapeze linkage

[JVan45]

Im looking for someone who has the trapeze style linkage that I can buy. I have a 71 F-100/ 360 2 bbl. carb./auto trans.
Anyone that can help please let me know.

i saved a couple of those accelerator linkage parts but I may not be able to find one. I will look and if I find one i'll post here.

This came off a 72 360 2v iirc . maybe someone can confirm. Sent you an email

Thanks Jim but 71 cc had exactly what I needed.
I was hoping that the banana was part of the deal!

i found one. it is off an FT engine . 2 ton truck. much heavier . the bolt pattern for the throttle bracket is the same on the FT manifold as the FE so it will fit.

I did away with this ridiculous contraption and made my own rod. It is amazing how much more driveable the truck is now without all the slop in the linkage.

i have never seen one on a ford pickup that was not wore out. i don;t have a truck with that POS on it either. it was not one of ford's better ideas.

Somewhere there must be an exact length cable that will directly replace the original linkage. It's just a matter of stumbling across it. The older ford pickups had a cable by the way.
