1978 F150 clutch dowel pins/screws

Hi all, I'm on a bit of a search for some answers and parts here.

Sorry if this is a bit vague and if I sound a bit unsure, I'm just relaying everything my dad told me while I was at work. I haven't had the chance to go back to the shop and look at it myself yet.

So, long story short, my dad and I are restoring a 78 F150 Custom 4x4 with the 351m and an NP435. We had the flywheel resurfaced yesterday and he found what looks to be some sort of dowel pins that the clutch plate uses to line up with the flywheel. From what my dad told me, it looks like there needs to be 3 of them, 2 are missing, and 1 was broken off (see pic of caliper measurements).

We are having a heck of a time trying to find the right part for this as there is not a whole lot of info online about this. We've found that Ford part # N800474-S might be the right thing, but we can't find them for sale anywhere, Ford doesn't stock them, and they're obsolete, plus those look to be screws, and apparently what came out was a dowel pin (I was not there for this, just got messages from Dad).

I've downloaded the master parts catalog and diagrams from 1980 for the dentside trucks and it's not much help. I've attached pics of the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and the measurements of this dowel.

Not sure if this fits, but saw this [Ram DC650] today

Not sure how rare these are exactly, but I thought it was cool

Just adopted this sweet girl 3 days ago. Her name is Izzy!

Izzy is 3 y/o lab mix (maybe with Brittany Spaniel, we’re not sure lol). She was a surrender after her previous owner had health issues that made it to where they couldn’t care for her. She is the biggest, sweetest goofball and has really taken to her new home! She’s a face licker and loves hugs. I love her so much

Just gotta say, the Independence Day fireworks were absolutely insane! So happy I finally got to see them!

I’ve been coming to WDW since 1999 and have been over 60 times, but never have been able to see the 4th of July fireworks until this year. My parents treated my wife and I to a weekend getaway staying club level at the Contemporary. We watched the show from the balcony at club level and it was just amazing!

New car day!

Decided to pick myself up a Bandit XL5 today. And after using a TRX-4M, this thing is stupid fast comparatively lol.

Just crawling in the back yard

Hi all! I’m pretty new to the hobby, but I’m enjoying it a lot. This is my TRX-4M high trail with the Traxxas brushless ECM and motor upgrade, injora steelie beadlocks and rock terrain tires, TCRC front and rear metal tube bumpers, RCRabbit camper shell, and a roof rack. Just wanted to show it off a bit and say hi!

Added a camper shell, roof rack, and a brushless motor to my TRX-4M High Trail

Excuse the messy table lol. It's where the wife and I do crafts and hobbies.

Edit to add: The brushless motor is the Traxxas 6250 TRX-4M Motor and ECM and it's been great!

Got these two sweeties last night. The tri colored one is Callie and the black and white one is Oreo. I haven't had piggies in 6 years since my last ones passed of old age. Glad to finally be part of the club again!
