Need upper clutch push rod #3907877 for '68 C10

[kd6tas]

Anyone know where I can find one?

Got a pic?

If youre talking about the one from the pedal to the crank on the frame, no one reproduces them it seems. I had to weld onto mine to reshape the wear.

The upper rod would connect the pedal to the bell crank or z-bar I believe.

There are a couple on eBay that come withe the pedal assembly also, probably driving the cost up.

Then there is the $300 NOS one, that I won't bother linking.

It is the one from the pedal to the z-bar. I have one somewhere but it might be worn out, as I presume yours is.

Yes, it's like the one in the picture (if the attachment worked).

I bought a reproduction from a place but it was the straight one.
That's all that seems to be available new.
It was less than $20 which seems reasonable.

Yes, mine is worn out.

That's the V8 one, with the dogleg. The L6 upper clutch rod had less of a bend, but the thing LMC tries to sell is neither.

Those must be more recent listings.
I tried eBay a couple of months ago and the $300 one was all I found.
These two listing are better but still steep.

Welding it to reshape the wear is a plan.
I'd like to find a worn one cheap so I can do that and have it on hand.

The LMC one is the one I bought. In their pictures it's for a six not a V8, but I tried it anyway. Paid as much in shipping (to me and back to them) as it cost. It's not even close.

I have one like the one in the above pic (flat sided)

I bought their part but wound up just 'eating it'. My machinist made up a rod the right length with Hiem joints terminating in short 3/8'' threaded rods on both ends. Works real good on my 292 L6 in a '68 C/10.
The V8 ones weren't so hard to find when I put a 350 in my '71 Jimmy...
[ Now LMC even copied my machinists'heim joint idea, but for large dollars.]
The OEM V8 dogleg rod was cast in pot metal, so it doesn't take to welding very well.
A good blacksmith could hammer out the perfect part. Too bad I don't know any.
