ya, so i was driving home the other day and my clutch pedal fell off. I didn't get much of a chance to look at but where it pivots it just kinda snapped off. I seen like a 4 inch long 17 mm bolt. If i take this out will that assembly come off of there or is it going to be more complicated than that? I figured I would just take the one off my parts truck instead of trying to fix this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look through the old posts around here. I saw once that you could still buy a new steel piece that goes up under there to hold the pedal. I was able to mickey mouse mine but it won't work forever.

This is fairly common on 78 and newer trucks with the cable clutch. 77 and older pivot at a different point due to the hydro clutch master cylinder. I've yet to have any trouble with any of the older hydro clutch brackets. Here are a couple of old posts regarding this:

I was able to take the bracket out through the hole the gauges sit in. Once you have it out you'll need access to a welder to fix it up. I recommend adding some gusseting to strengthen it up. If yours is too far gone you could pull one from a junkyard truck. Just make sure you get one from the right vintage of truck. 72-77 are the same, and 78-80 are the same. If you want a new one, here are part numbers, if a GM or Isuzu dealer can still find them:

94022556 series 2-6 (1973-1977)
94027039 series 8-10 (1978-1980)

A new bracket for series 8-10 is still going to fail eventually. I'd weld extra support on a brand new one if it was going in my truck.

Buy a new bracket thru your Chevy dealer. The part number is in one of my posts here.

Thanks for all your help, I got it out through the gauge hole and got it welded up. It wasn't too bad, i threw some more metal on there to make it stronger. I hope to get it back in this afternoon.

Again, thank you
