     Are you talking about the pedal itself or the whole pedal, arm, and rod assy. that goes through the firewall to the frame ?

Yep, more information.
Looking for replacement parts, or is this for some kind of conversion?
If you go with newer make/model parts you'll find that alot of what's available uses a hydraulic clutch.

The only thing that is going to bolt in is full size truck of the same vintage.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

1985 Was the first year for Hydraulic clutches in our Trucks. I would start searching E-Bay and Craigslist for a 85-87 Pickup and 85-91 Blazer and Suburbans. And if you run across a Mechanical Clutch in the process, Use it till you find a Hydraulic set.
