Hi Mark,
I know I said this B4 but you have to be close to get'n that baby goin.
Checked the threads on the original 49 rear, still set'n on the back of the 53
COE, and they're 5/16-24.
I don't recall what rear you're put'n in that truck but you may want to do as I
did and just loop the cables
from the later rear around the clevis, where the threaded portion on the end of
the cable would go and clamp it down
with hardware store garage door hardware.
Adjust the front portion off the pedal to the horizontal bar first of course,
so you'll have max adjustment
later. I've been using this arrangement for over two years and I haven't had to
adjust it yet, nor have I had any problems with
the shade tree engineering :)
Here are a couple shots of the rt side:
