WTB Clutch Linkage & Door Latch Parts
 
4 Attachment(s)
Was underneath my truck yesterday and noticed that the clutch linkage rod is about half way worn through. I did see the replacement that's available online, but I'm not sure of the quality of it.

I need the rod that goes from the clutch pedal to the z-bar. I think I probably also need a z-bar as the hole has gone egg shaped from wear. (Edit to add: Now that I look again at the pictures, maybe I don't need the z-bar.)
Was there some sort of bushing from the factory that was supposed to be there?

On the door latch stuff, I need the latch and striker for the passenger side. Both are heavily worn and I can't get the passenger door to close good at all.

I could also use a passenger window regulator in good condition, but that would be kinda costly to ship, so I might just try rebuilding the one I have.

Any input is welcome here

I can probably help you out with the door latch items. If I have them, you pay shipping and there yours. Thanks for being a moderator.

I haven't made any plans for this weekend, so that's a possibility

I forgot to specify that I need them for my 63. If that's what you have, it'll probably fit in a USPS flat rate box. Thank you!

Mine would be for 64 thru 66. Sorry for not picking up on that.

It looks like it's approximately 20". It's a slight challenge to measure unless I take it out of the truck, but I can pull it out for a better measurement if needed. Looks like where it attaches at the pedal is worn out as well, so I probably need to get that piece too

Thank you. I think I'll end up going to Commerce this weekend, but I'll let you know if I don't find what I need

I have a clutch linkage rod with minor wear if you want it - cost me nothing. But . . .

I cut my existing rod, threaded the rod and then added Heim joints. I eliminated the friction of metal on metal.

And on the clutch part that egg shaped, I welded it and re-drilled the hole.

Thank you for your generosity. Dwayne has one as well that I don't have to have shipped, so I'll be getting it this weekend.

I did see that mod, but unfortunately for me, I don't have a tap and die set yet and my welder is back home in Woodstock while I'm in Milledgeville till the end of April. Before I install the new to me parts, I'm going to look into using either a nylon or bronze bushing to take up any slack keep it from wearing through again
