Trust me- converting a drilled-out rear upright or steering arm taper back to stock is not simple, fun nor cheap. And while the Speedway studs are cheap and I've been ragging on all our vendors for years on this subject, still none include these simple tapered studs (or the seals) with their a-arm or bump-steer kits.
Push, you're correct- there IS such a stud available from Speedway Motors in NE. Browse to in the racing section. It is commonly used in dirt track race cars that use production components, and works perfectly with the Pantera's Ford or Chrysler 7 degree taper. There are two studs available that take different heims- one has a 1/2" straight stud diameter (normally used in bump-steering corrections) while the other has a 5/8" diameter bore more appropriate for the rear upright. But check the bore of your a-arm heim before ordering. I also suggest a pkg of 'Seals-it" in the correct size to keep dirt & water out of your heims and extend their life. Note when ordering to specify "Ford" with the part number as there also a tapered stud using a GM taper which is NOT 7 degrees.
