Upper clutch rod (pedal to bell crank)

I'm looking for an oem clutch rod for my '63 and was wondering if the rod's for '67-'72 trucks are the same as the '60-'66 trucks.
Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
Greg.

I used a cold rolled rod, threaded on the ends with heim joints on the ends, works real smooth now.

The '67-'72 rod is different.

I would do something like 63burban suggested.

Re: Upper clutch rod (pedal to bell crank)

Went out this afternoon and picked up a pair of rod ends. The term "Heim joint" just gets puzzled looks up here in my neck of the woods.
I cut down and threaded my existing clutch rod and will put it all together once the paint dries.
