'79 Chevy Clutch linkage...

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...

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.
