Ford 3000

[Hppsvs]

I have a 1970 3000 diesel. I think it's on the changeover from pre force to force because it's got force tinwork, but a smaller pre force front axle.

I removed the front pivot, spacer and bushing because it was badly worn, but can't seem to find the correct replacement set.
I orderred a new pin and bush, but they couldn't supply the spacer. The new bush is totally different to what came out. My existing setup is the earlier style pin which goes through a sleeve/spacer (item 26), the sleeve then slides through the bushing (item 21), which is considderably thinner than the new one thats come.

This is a picture of what mine should look like, but this is the only one I've found, on ebay in the USA. Any UK based companies sell this? Or anyone else have the same setup?

Force production began after 4/1/68 but the early style axle was used until 8/1/70 so you can have a Force model with the early axle
Since you mentioned yours has the spacer that confirms it’s the early axle as the later axles didn’t use that spacer
You need the 1.75” or 44.45mm diameter pin and bushing kit for the early axle. Later axles used a larger 2.01 or 51.05mm pin
Most times if the bushing isn’t damaged we just reuse it
