Whitelightning,

I think you are referring to the ball pivot inside the bellhousing that the clutch fork attaches to. I was referring to the stud that is on the outside on the upper left that the clutch linkage attaches to.

I think my new bellhousing must have come out of a later model that had the clutch linkage pivot attached to the frame or something.

I suppose it wouldn't be that big a deal to have a machine shop make me a stud, then drill the new bellhousing to accept it.

It's always something, isn't it?

Seek results, not perfection. Remember this is a truck, not a Rolex watch.
