Clutch pedal bushings

Does anyone have Ford part #'s for the clutch pedal bushings or where they are available from other sources ? The parts guy at my local dealer has no idea and I really need a set. Any help is appreciated

My experience with the Ford bushings is that these are worthless.
It is likely you have worn parts.
Throwing money out the truck window is far better then giving the money to Ford.
$5 for a piece of plastic, junk.
The design was bad, and I am being generous.
Get on your back and look for worn parts.

I just went to my local dealer and told them I needed pedal bushings, they knew what I was talking about.

But, to add what builder bob said...

If you can, pull the pedal assembly first. I took mine out and the bushings were actually fine. I took it apart and put some grease and graphite in it. Where I did have a problem was on the clutch rod end- the (plastic) bushing was destroyed, the pin on the clutch pedal arm was all chewed up, and somebody had it held together with wire.

I cut off the old pin and drilled it out, put in a steel pin, bronze bushing in the clutch rod, and some grease and washers. Somebody else told me they did this and the bronze bushing also wore out. I guess I'll see what happens.

BTW I did this because I had a really stiff clutch pedal, it feels a little better but I haven't driven it yet. If you search in the forum for "solving stiff clutch pedal" you should find my original thread which had a pretty good discussion about the whole thing.
