Clevis pin hardness?

Does anyone know the reputed hardness on clevis pins? I want to replace the ones on my clutch actuator rod on my 1969 F-100 set-up with bolts and locking nuts. Are they like Grade 5 or 8 or AN hardware?

I hate to replace them with something too soft or too brittle. Then again, I tend to over build things....

I'd say a grade 5 would be the way to go.... It will shear if something gets stuck in it, before you can damage the clutch... It's far cheaper to replace a $3 pin than a $50 clutch.

Sounds good. Thanx. I've used mostly Grade 5 on suspension parts so that doesn't worry me.
