C- Series trucks don't have any terminal nut there.
I have one that's that length, and it's threaded on both ends.

I totally agree about updated interiors feel good look good and brings bigger bucks
the dash pad is on order ,,,you know how it is remembering where all the goodies are stored FOUND EM
replaced the grab handle (was a good cheap idea from the PO) the original color of interior trimmings was green

I fixed my wife's 21st Century car today, and it's true:
Ford really does hate their mechanics

In the case of dealer warranty work, you could say they love them.

Are they like the ones on my Burban? I had one with a slow internal leak from the get go. (Which they replaced at no charge) Also they aren't the most accurate guages expect a 5lb or so difference from one needle to the other.

I never noticed on my '68 C/10. It had no threading on the rod end going thru the Clutch Fork.
Only the K/1500 Jimmy's push rod was threaded with a 1/2'' nut to retain it in the Clutch Fork hole.

So is it a stock thing -- K- vs. C- types are tapped? Or is it aftermarket, or DIY for extreme Four Wheelers?

Similar to that, yes. Has the paddle switches mounted next them as well. I'm unsure of the accuracy, but it does take a touch more air to keep the passenger side level.

Bled brakes again.
Good helper got a better pedal, still a little to much back brake but better with a Pv4 proportioning valve.

I painted the rear half of the frame. I should be putting the bed back on with the new wood in the next week or two.
