Wayne,
This is awesome--thanks so much. I didn't figure on the long rod from the end of the lever up to the pedal on the bellhousing. I think I might still have the rod in one of those boxes--if not, easy enough to fabricate from your excellent picture. I'm keeping it all original, so it should mount to the bellhousing without too much trouble.
Thanks again--much appreciated!
Jim
P.S. Is your 1 ton a pickup, or another configuration?
