The one that attached to the pedal on my truck seems like it is bent but I am not sure where; all of the bends in it look manufactured, I am thinking one is just bent a bit more-so than it should be. Does anyone have pictures (top and side) of their linkage so I can compare? Measurements would also be helpful but I can eyeball it and then fine tune it on the truck.

That rod should be straight from bellcrank to the toe board and bend should be pretty close to this hole. All I've had seamed to have slightly different bends, should not be a problem as is. I have several spare should you need one, and can send photo. Also the bend should turn upward inside the cab to follow the travel of the rod as the pedal is pushed downward.
