Well done, Jeff!
 Keith - Dennis Carpenter is doing it correctly. Not only can we link directly to the part in the catalog, but they show the original part number so we can find the part in a search of the internet. Hopefully your IT department will see the need to do it that way.

I'm late to the party on this, but that bushing is a common failure point on clutch linkage on brick and bull nose trucks.
The diesel guys in bricks have all gone to a heim joint to replace it. I'm doing the same. I found a hose clamp holding mine on in my old farm truck 😅 Here is the link to the one I got from eBay. Amazon actually has it cheaper, I missed that before I ordered. https://www.ebay.com/itm/112596684830?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=i8XQn53mSOG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=zsHVthsATtS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It has instruction on how to install as well plus videos on YouTube.

Whoops, Dennis Carpenter wants $10 to put that little guy in an envelope and mail it. So it's only a few bucks less than fleabay, and it's a repro not NOS. It sticks in my craw when vendors clearly are hiding extra profit on shipping. They should be more honest about it. I mail small stuff often and it doesn't cost $10.

That's an interesting approach and a big improvement. I have a ZF5, so may want to do that when the time comes. Thanks for sharing.

So, we decided to run barefoot, as it were, with the old bushing shreds in there, letting it oval out for now.
Like I mentioned last year, we got this one as a parts truck, from the great state of WA, where you can now meet a swat team and $1M bail for quoting the Bible. Just ask Tyler Dinsmoor. Feast your eyes on that XLT Lariat interior. The cab is rusted down low, but the plastic is uncracked. No Texas sun in WA. The bullnose front clip is gone already, ready to go on my son's 97 Aeronose. Once we strip our TX truck dash down to swap in the WA truck dash, we'll use that Heim joint fix. It seems that the Zbar would best go in a drill press vice to mod it well.
