Title: 1965 K code Z bar replacement
Post by: SCOTTGTK on November 02, 2025, 04:01:53 AM
Good am folks, couple questions here... first, has anyone replaced the Z bar in a 1965 K code? 2nd, assuming many of you have, where did you get the replacement/are you happy with the quality of it... I see CJ's, Kentucky etc all seem to have it, CJ's also shows a kit...any reccomendations would be helpful. Thank you in advance, Scott

Modern welding may have improved today's repros but I had to reinforce the original Ford versions to keep them from cracking and breaking.

csxsfm, I'm banking on it.... the couple I've seen and have placed in "my cart" at variuos sites look sturdy and most now come with a grease fitting.
I'm hoping some folks on here can say stay away from this brand or this brand has been the best so far...

essentially all the same to us, with some exceptions that one may have an exclusive part that the others may not.
