Question '54 223 help needed

I need a little help finishing my engine. It's actually been done for a month except for the throttle linkage.

What I need is a picture and/or a description of the linkage, especially the parts from the carb, to the bar attached to the intake manifold, to the rod that is attached to the gas pedal. I've either lost mine (!) or I have it but don't recognize it (!!).

It's making me crazy to have the engine completely overhauled but I'm not able to drive it because of a little bit of linkage.

I don't know how much these will help. They are from my '53 215 before I tore it apart. The 223 should be pretty similar. Hope this helps!

Kevin, I'm going to have some spares when I'm done. Email me and I'll send them to you.

BTW, thanks for the pics. That was very helpful.

I just found the linkage and the truck is almost back together. I have to fix the vacuum line from the carb to the distributor. Hopefully it'll be done by Saturday.
