**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-17-2008, 08:57 AM

The bell housing sort of holds the open end of the clutch fork on the throw-out bearing. The T.O. bearing is held on by the trans shaft. The clutch fork is held on by the pivot and the T.O bearing.
I have one 4x4 truck ['71 Jimmy] that has a threaded end on the rear of the lower clutch rod [not including the long threaded end that goes into linkage swivel]. This end goes thru the pushrod nut and thru the end of the clutch fork and secures the push rod to the clutch fork in extreme four wheeling mode. It may be a P.O.'s mod. My '68 C/10 has no back nut securing the lower pushrod to the clutch fork.
