78 Np435?
The clutch was acting a little funny and I looked under the truck and it looks like the Z bar is sitting slightly crooked. Is the a bushing or bearings in it that could go bad? If so can they be replaced or do you have to buy a whole new assembly?

On either side of the clutch equalizer bar is a bracket with a ball stud attached. The bearings from the E-bar ride on those studs, which will wear down over time, or break off. That may be the reason the bar is crooked.
see my next post below for parts numbers info...

Assuming it's the 1978 model you have, here's the parts number info:
1-D7TZ-7507-A .. Clutch Equalizer Bar Bracket~Frame mounted
1-D7TZ-7A572-A .. Clutch Equalizer Bar Bracket~Engine mounted
2-C1AA-7543-A .. Clutch Equalizer Bar Bushings (Bearings)
2-358979-S .. Clutch E-bar Felt Washers
2-97474-S .. Clutch E-Bar Retainer Clips (E clips)
There are also two bushings on the clutch rod that runs from the pedal to the E-bar. These fail on a regular basis, and when they do, the rod ends snap off. There are two types, depending on the serial number of your truck.
2-C0AZ-7526-A Use before serial number BA-0001
2-D8TZ-7526-B Use after serial number BA-0001
