I just broke the screw that holds the caliper to the bracket. I can probably drill and tap the bracket, but the 'pin' is toast....is this a junkyard only item, or is there a source for small parts like this? This is the old style front axle w/selectro locking hubs. Gonna get some chow and cool off for a bit thanks in advance for any help

If your talking about the funky pin that holds the caliper in place , and is held in place with an allen head (i beleive) screw , then those "pins" come with new calipers when you buy them. Someone will chime in if they are available separately.

If i am way off course , just smile and nod.

 

those are the ones! Wish I didn't have to buy calipers to get one

I bought new ones for my truck the last time that I did the front brakes.got them through carquest. dont remember the cost though.

 

you bought just the pins? there may be hope yet! I'll try the parts store before I hit the hardware aisle of Lowes....

those should be available at any auto parts store, just ask for caliper pins. I haven't bought them for my 1st gen, but have got a set for the Ferd. I think it was like 18 bucks for the set of 4.

 

SmokinFive9 4x4, I'm not sure if we have the same type of D-60 outers. I only have one 'pin' per side. I'm headed to the parts store now. I'll try to snap some photos when it all goes back together.

Ford calipers have the same mounting style, probably the same everything, as these axles. Our 76 highboy calipers mount the same but the're 2 piston calipers.
