Rattling clutch pedal in 79 K20

I'm wondering if anyone sells the parts to rebuild my mechanical clutch pedal in my 79 K20? Mine has a bad lean to it that almost makes it hit the dimmer switch in the floor when depressed. It rattles horribly if I don't keep some kind of constant pressure on it in front or behind. A couple of years ago I bought what few parts I could from brother's to rebuild the Z-bar on the frame.

I'm wondering now if I should just cut my losses and maybe replace my whole brake/clutch pedal assembly with one from another truck. Or is it possible that I can fix mine and make the rattle go away.

There are plastic bushings in the pedal pivot yours have probably broken and are no longer doing there job they can be had new they are LMC same as the ones in the brake pedal
LMC part number 32-6157 it's 6.95 for bushing set there is also a sleeve that goes over the through bolt and that may be worn out as well LMC carries that also

Probably a dumb question, but do I have to pull the pedal assembly out to replace these? or can it be done in the truck without pulling hair?

I can't say for sure I replaced bushings before I did my conversion to the sm465 when the pedals were out as long as there is enough room to get the long bolt out it should be doable
