Little update. I have spent the last 2 days working on the clutch linkage for my 72. One wouldn't think its all that tricky as the truck was stick. But as I now have angle plug heads I bought Hooker Headers to match. They were the only ones that made them>> SOO I found out they will work great IF you are running auto trans. There is a tube running next to the oil filter and that is where the linkage is supposed to go. Today after cutting the linkage arm off the third time and rewelding it I think I have it to where the linkage will fit without hitting the tube or the filter. BUT because I cut the adjusting rod shorter back 2 steps it is now to short. I found another one so all is (almost ) Who says modifying cars (trucks) ain't fun. If my camera was working I show pictures . That to is giving me fits.
