A friend purchased a used 1980 F100 (6) cylinder, manual transmission.
A couple weeks later, the clutch stopped releasing. He pulled the
transmission.

The ball seat & ball studs behind the clutch fork are missing.

Does anyone where you can purchase the ball studs?

Ford dealerships have discontinued stocking them.
www.lmctruck.com has the ball seat, but not the ball studs.

Carquest, NAPA, Ford dealer. The fork IS the seat.

We've called 5 auto part stores, 2 clutch specialty shops, 2 Ford
dealerships and they all say they can't get them.

If you have paypal, give me the phone# of a store that has them and
I'll send you $10.
