Question Where can I find a clutch rod????

Hey guys anyone know where I can find a new or near perfect clutch rod, besides a junk yard? Im talking about the rod that goes from the pedal to the z-bar. I have searched a few catalogs and online and cant find one. LMC has some replacement one that is 99 bucks but it isn't like the original. Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Like this? This is a NOS rod I purchased in the late 90’s from a GM dealer in Chicago while I was converting my truck from a TH350 to SM465. This was the ONLY NOS rod I could find anywhere in the country at that time. In the winter of 2010 I converted the truck to a NV4500 with a hydraulic clutch. I imagine the rod only saw about 5,000 to 8,000 miles over 11 years. Bonus, it also comes with fresh inner and outer boots too. I'll never use it as I am hooked on hydraulic clutches from here on out. I am heading out of town for a weekend fishing trip first thing tomorrow morning so I’ll reply to your PM late Sunday or Monday.
