Clutch Problems Need Advise

[treveiger]

I have a 69 Chevy C20 with a 307/sm465 and ever since I bought it the clutch rod rubbed on the fire wall. Long story short I started working on the truck again and decided to tackle the clutch issue. Pulled out the clutch pushrod and it looked bent. So I heated up the rod, bent it straight and put it back in. As soon as I pressed the clutch in the rod bent again. After messing with it all morning I need some help figuring out what is wrong. Do I need a new rod, z bar, or any other linkages? Any help or pictures to aid me would be great.
