64swb: You posted back on 1/17 about the same problem. You removed the broken ball stud.
What happened, did you find a replacment, and it failed again? Or are you just now getting things back together?
I know what you are talking about, the bracket that supports the clutch pivot. I don't know what block/bellhousing it was designed to fit. There are several engine/manual combos to fit these years of trucks. Unless you can round up a factory assembly manual, showing different set-ups
and part numbers to tell you what goes with what. I think the bracket you are describing mounts to the 230/250/292 6 blocks, with floor shift. On the column shift models the linkage arms are different on six and V-8 models, so maybe the bracket was just for the sixes. I have always seen the ball pivot mounted to the block, on the V-8's. But you had better check all this out, as I am not 100% sure. You might just check with local GM/Chevy dealer as they may have the pivot balls in stock, worth a shot anyway. If nothing else maybe they can set you straight on the bracket issue. Then you can always check out the local wrecking yards, there is always several 60's Chevy trucks around. Also you might want to check out what caused the ball to fail initially. Possible lack of lube? Or maybe a broken motor mount. Hope this helps.
Think Chevy!
:rolleyes:
