72 GMC Bellcrank Pivot Stud - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Long&Low72 · 07-15-2008, 01:49 PM

Hi Hope someone can help me with this. I broke the pivot stud engine side on my bellcrank the other day and now I'm having trouble replacing it. I've found several but the all say its for a 4wd V8 I have a 2wd 250 I6. Is this part exchangeable. If not is there some way to rig it? Will the frame side work? Any help will be appreciated.

Not sure about the interchangability but give me a day or two and pm me your address, I think I have one I'll send ya one for free (if you're in the US... where's Fitzgerald?) . I just have to make sure I still have it, it's good and the one you need.
Welcome to the board!

(the $25 a year dues are WELL worth it for the TON of info and help on this site and you can post Want to Buy and Sell)

The 6 cylinder ball pivot is on a bracket, as opposed to the v8 one which threads into the block, so yes the 6 cylinder one is different. If it is just the ball stud that broke, you could make the v8 ball stud work on the 6 cylinder bracket, just drill out the hole in the bracket and run a nut down on the threads of the other ball. If the other member has one, good for you and I second the $25 supporter fee being worth every dime! A free part just asking is why I like the board.

Man I appreciate it, you have no idea, and you can count on me paying that $25 supporter fee as soon as I can. I've never really gotten into the forums b4 this but now i think I'm hooked. Especially since this site is dedicated to the trucks I love.
