GA WTB Clutch Linkage & Door Latch Parts

[cwcarpenter98]

Was underneath my truck yesterday and noticed that the clutch linkage rod is about half way worn through. I did see the replacement that's available online, but I'm not sure of the quality of it.

I need the rod that goes from the clutch pedal to the z-bar. I think I probably also need a z-bar as the hole has gone egg shaped from wear. (Edit to add: Now that I look again at the pictures, maybe I don't need the z-bar.)
Was there some sort of bushing from the factory that was supposed to be there?

On the door latch stuff, I need the latch and striker for the passenger side. Both are heavily worn and I can't get the passenger door to close good at all.

I could also use a passenger window regulator in good condition, but that would be kinda costly to ship, so I might just try rebuilding the one I have.

Any input is welcome here

You going to be at Commerce this weekend?

I can probably help you out with the door latch items. If I have them, you pay shipping and there yours. Thanks for being a moderator.

I haven't made any plans for this weekend, so that's a possibility

I forgot to specify that I need them for my 63. If that's what you have, it'll probably fit in a USPS flat rate box. Thank you!

Mine would be for 64 thru 66. Sorry for not picking up on that.

Let me know. Probably have all you looking for. Will have to check on clutch piece. Got a length?

It looks like it's approximately 20". It's a slight challenge to measure unless I take it out of the truck, but I can pull it out for a better measurement if needed. Looks like where it attaches at the pedal is worn out as well, so I probably need to get that piece too

Thank you. I think I'll end up going to Commerce this weekend, but I'll let you know if I don't find what I need

I have a clutch linkage rod with minor wear if you want it - cost me nothing. But . . .

I cut my existing rod, threaded the rod and then added Heim joints. I eliminated the friction of metal on metal.

And on the clutch part that egg shaped, I welded it and re-drilled the hole.

Thanks for the offer of parts, guys. Dwayne has all the parts that I needed this go around, so I'll be one stop shopping at Commerce this weekend

Thank you for your generosity. Dwayne has one as well that I don't have to have shipped, so I'll be getting it this weekend.

I did see that mod, but unfortunately for me, I don't have a tap and die set yet and my welder is back home in Woodstock while I'm in Milledgeville till the end of April. Before I install the new to me parts, I'm going to look into using either a nylon or bronze bushing to take up any slack keep it from wearing through again
