Default 1985 D150 slant six throttle pressure linkage

I bought an '85 D150 with 225 and 904 that is missing the throttle pressure linkage (aka transmission kickdown) from the bell crank to the Holley 1945 carburetor. Everything from the bell crank to the transmission is present, or I'd get the Lokar kit. Does anyone know the part number?


Does anyone have a good photo of this part ? I think I'll have to make this part as I have not been able to find a used part. A good photo would really help.

THE FSM does not have a photo of the linkage, but it seems like a piece of heavy wire would work.

I found the OEM throttle pressure rod stuck under the fender.

Default 1985 slant six drive shaft

My "new" 1985 short bed slant six truck with 904 needs a drive shaft, which I think is two piece. Will a drive shaft from a similar body truck with a 318 work?
