72-93 truck clutch linkage questions

The "silver colored" one is the same as yours, the "rusty" one is 16", which came from a 82 2wd 318 o/d trans truck. I'm still thinking that someone had a lift kit in their unit. Lop off the add-on and you should be good to go.

Would you happen to know what attaches this rod to the pedal/zbar? I was thinking just a regular C-clip, but the holes are a strange shape
