DOTZ9D702A the stabilizer rod, comes with an adjustable pivot that threads onto the rod. This pivot fits to the bellcrank, is held on by a clip.

DOTZ9A702A the accelerator rod also comes with the same adjustable threaded pivot, which fits to the pedal. A similar clip is used to retain it.

btw: These clips are right/left specific.

Call Green Sales (800-543-4959), ask them to copy the following parts catalog illustration and send it to you. This is a service they offer...there used to be no charge.

1964/72 FORD TRUCK PARTS CATALOG / ILLUSTRATION SECTION 97 / PAGE 24.

The UPPER illustration on this page is the one you want to look at, as the lower illustration is not related to your truck.

This illustration shows every part of the accelerator linkage in detail.

You can buy a CD of this parts catalog from hipoparts.com for around 22 bucks.

It's been so long since I've had to do this, I don't recall where I got the small ball ends. Not sure if it was Napa or Lowes? The rod ends were one piece, not able to dismantle them.

Yeah, hot rod shops, dune buggy shops, 4 wheel drive shops and certain well
stocked hardware stores all got 'em. :) Ask for 'em by name "Heim joints".

If it were me... I'd leave the NOS stuff for those that are showing them and
have to be original. For using it, I'd go with a straight rod setup like Freight is
talking about which is what came stock on my '75 360FE. But mine's not as
fancy and high of quality as Freight is talking about tho.
