Guitplayer,
FWIW, after some further delving into the GMpartswiki search, the following info relates to the "clutch fork" noted by Fred above that you can use to get everything back in alignment:
Parts Group 0.795 Clutch fork, release GM# 839240
Used in applications:
1940-54 All Passenger cars *
1947-55.1 All Commercial/Utility Truck (1st Series)
1955.2-59 All Trucks (2nd Series) w/6 cylinder & 8 cylinder engines (except 322 and 348)
1960-62 C-20&30 Trucks Double Duty w/6 cylinder engines
* Included this info just as a potential source (same part) for acquiring what you may be looking for.
Hope this is of some help in resolving your problem.
Dan
