Help locating clutch push rod upper bracket
I've been searching the different parts sites for the past three hours looking for the bracket on the right side of the brake pedal that the clutch push rod hooks into. The hole in it is severely elongated and causes problems with the pedal sticking. The bracket I'm looking for is shown in this image:

Thanks Mike! Got the message! Mark, I have definitely thought about that, but I'm concerned about the unknowns such as, what happens if I get the hole off-center. I'm learning as I go with this truck and I'm only a year into it.

Clutch release lever ('push rod') has nylon bushings on both 90 degree ends. The bushings crack apart/disintigrate, the 90 degree ends begin to crack, eventually snap off. Not pleasant!
XXXX-7A554-X .. Clutch Pedal Lever-4" long x 1 1/8" wide / Obsolete
1978 F100/350 & Bronco from serial number BA0,001 / 1979 F100/350 & Bronco.
ONE available NOS / I assume Mike sent you the part number/source/phone number in that P/M since we both use the same two parts locator sites (one of which only 3 FTE members have access to and that's what it's listed on).
The thing is: When there's only one available, if we post the part number/source, someone else might snag it.

I actually found one for $15 shipped NOS last month.. I googled the part # and a list came up, that was actually several years old. Parts place still had it.

Psquare, I found the listing on NOS and they were out of stock. I googled the part number too. I spent several hours searching with no luck. I'm pretty sure my problem is solved though. Just waiting on a call back.
