clutch equalizer bar

On my '68 truck with 300" motor the engine side of the equalizer bar sits lower than the frame side and the engine side of the equalizer bar seems to be more toward the front of the truck. Is that normal or is something wrong? I replaced all the bushings and felt washers and nothing is bent, but the bar seems to be not in alignment and the clutch adjusting rod is at an angle like \ that.

Not that it's right, but all my cars/trucks have the same set up. Not one is straight in line with anything. They all push/pull at weird angles

Granted a couple are pieces/parts that were not actually for the vehicle, but the others are stock and not straight.

As long as it works

Hey, thanks for that reply! I was starting to freak out, I thought I screwed something up or got the wrong part. It was so long since I had the motor in the truck that I forgot what it looked like when it was in there before.
