Heim joints for '78 F150 radius arms

[rguy]

I'd like to find some female heim joints that will screw onto the ends of the radius arm so I can do away with the bushings. My front end consists of a '78 F150 SAS with the '78 F150 radius arms. I found some female heim joints with 3/4 x 16 threads on-line. Does anyone know these will thread onto the radius arms or what will work for what I'm trying to achieve?

Thanks.

I didnt know you can get them to the size of the radius arm....

I'd really like to use Johnny Joints but it doesn't look like they're available with female ends.

Well i was going to take a superflex joint and create something that will thread on the radius arm. Im in the same boat your in but i have extended arms.

I used Ford/New Holland Heims. I forget the size but, if you go to either Ford/New Holland or John Deer they should have what you are looking for for very cheap. I think I paid $40 for both and so far they are indestructible. They are HUGE too. I wanted to keep mine all Ford so I went to Ford/New Holland.........

The Rubicon Express website has builder parts where you can order one of their joints with a threaded ,female bung but I believe it accepts either a 1" or 1.25" shank I forget which.
