What is this bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I built the jig that KIM57 designed and it worked great for removing and installing the cab buy yourself, many thanks for the idea. However, I have a question. What is this bracket and how is it supposed to be mounted, I didn't remove it but it seems to be in the way now?

Looks like a bent over clutch or brake lever

If there is one on both sides then it looks like a inner fender mount.

Nope, the inner fender mount is just to the right of that thing. Don't remember that being on mine. I would think it could be part of the shift linkage for a column mounted 3 speed, but it's been so long since mine wasn't part Camaro I don't remember. I'm a member of the "when in doubt, cut it out" group.

Its a clutch lever that has been bent over the frame. .

Thought he was refering to the bracket on the cab. The bent over clutch bracket was hard to see.

yep, if it was straight it would align with the clutch pedal hole. Unbolt the lever on the inside and it slides out.

BluTooth · 04-01-2012, 04:36 PM

Ahhh, I straightened it out and yes it does line up with the clutch hole. This truck did have a manual transmission. I still don't know how it got bent over. Oh well. Many thanks. I am putting a 700R4 in it so I won't even need this bracket.

it is the bracket for the clutch engagement/disengagement rod. I just got finished removing mine when putting in my mustang II front with V8 automatic trans.
