or do I have to make a minor changeover?

Don't know what changes were made by 69, but on my 66 I took the clutch pedal out and put the rest back. The truck is running the original brake pedal today after a C6 conversion some 12 or so years back.

On the later trucks the clutch pedal arm is welded to the shaft, which is also the pivot shaft for the brake pedal arm. The clutch linkage is over to the right of the brake linkage, and the nut that holds it all together is on that side.
You can get this clutchless pivot pin from an auto truck in the junkyard.

1965/66 same as 1967/72 and 1973/79. Brake pedal rides on clutch pedal shaft.
One can get the pivot pin from a junkyard, but after taking it all apart...will the pin be any good...or not.
Nylon bushings (2474) wear, crack apart, pin wobbles on metal bearings that are made as part of bracket.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, NOS is available.
