Where did the parts go?

When did bell cranks for autos get so expensive? Where did they go to make them so pricey?

Floor shifters and shift-by-wire have eliminated a bunch.  Make one.

I despise any "by wire" system. My F-350 has that for the throttle. UGH!

That's the exact reason I have extended warranties on my late model stuff!  Even though I'm an electronic tech by trade the new vehicles are well beyond basics!

What are you looking for, put up a WTB note here.

I got one as a replacement until I can rebuild mine. But, to me that is a part that doesn't get mashed like fenders, trim, bumpers etc. Just seems odd that they would disappear and now are suddenly very expensive. Or, I have been out of the parts buying business for a long time.

'57s don't use one.  What are you working on?

[1930artdeco]

Gasman I am referring to the bell crank for the throttle/kick down on my 57 wagon. It just seems like this part should not be disappearing and the remainders going for prices next to gold.

Is this what you're talking about?

[gasman826]

Sometimes ya' just need a picture.

Looks like mine but I have automatic. But yes. Did I get the name wrong?

I have an extra also.  It seems parts old prices are climbing.  I just for an NOS clutch zbar for the f100. It was about 200.00    bit a real seller on ebay as oppose to a scammer on  FB.  I think eBay fees just went up also. Btw always use pirate ship.  It's the cheapest. 

[1930artdeco]

Pirate ship?

[abe_lugo]

Pirate ship is for cheap shipping.  You pay for you ups or usps slip.  Print it and drop off. Cheaper that the actual place.

Never knew about Pirate Ship.........A Google search came up with this.
