I am usually on the other side, Al is my name (mostly go as CrazyL). At any rate , I picked up an early bell (v8, 1955). Cast #3704922, code date G 5 5). The pivot ball for the clutch fork is different than what I have seen in the 60's trucks/cars. It will bolt to the back of my 2000, 5.3 that is to be swapped into my 69....but can you guys educate me on where to find the pivot ball for the clutch fork (would like to run the cast truck fork, that takes a 3/4" diam. pivot ball . The threads in the bell , are 7/16 NF. Any/all help is welcome

Thanks,Al
