Those are hard to find, and that one is in good shape so worth the money.  However, it isn't quite as advertised since there is no such thing as one that fits from 1980 - 86.  The 1980 - 82 clutches had mechanical linkage while all 1984 - 86 linkages were hydraulic.  And the 1983 linkages were a mix with the 460's and IDI's having hydraulic and the others having mechanical.

I cannot tell which that is, but someone might be able to?

The date stamp stamped in the aluminum states it was manufactured 3/80. March / 1980.

So that might narrow it down a bit.  

However the date stamp isn't 100% conclusive as it just means the date of the aluminum piece.

Any engineering numbers on the parts themselves? ; etc... That could also narrow it down to a year or two.

If I was to hazard a guess, with the date stamp . . .  I'd say 1980/1983.  but wouldn't guarantee it.

That's my thinking as well, Ralph.  As shown in the table on the bracket, there was an updated E4 version, and while it could be used for a mechanical linkage it was obviously used with a hydraulic linkage and would have had a later casting date.

But did whomever refurbed things use later pedals in an earlier bracket?  Don't know, and that could make all the difference.  My guess is that either this thing won't sell or the buyer may be unhappy.

On the manual clutch trucks, the push rod lever is perpendicular to the clutch pedal lever. On the hydraulic trucks, the push rod lever is parallel to the clutch pedal lever.

This one is perpendicular, so it's for a manual clutch truck. It also has no pivot post at the end of the push rod lever, just a hole for the manual clutch rod.

Excellent!  Thanks, Shaun.
