So I have a '79 Chevy/GMC 3/4 ton truck and it's at that point in its life
that wierd stuff is starting to wear out and need replacement. For instance
the clutch linkage. It has a lot of slap due to worn joints and shafts and
whatnot. So basically my question is, what is a good source for information
on what parts my truck has in its clutch linkage, what they are, their
correct layout and adjustments to make, etc. etc. etc.

The truck is a bit of a Frankenstien....Built up from two trucks sometime in
its past....Titled as a GMC, Got a Chevy front clip....etc..

Thanks in Advance...

John

and when you get serious about doing the
work....
give yer local Chevy Dealer a visit and talk
to the Parts Dude. He'll be able to give
you some OEM prices that may be inline
with anything yer gonna find aftermarket
on that truck.
