I've read how some people "fortify" the pedal rod with additional threaded sleeves so it can't bend.
TBH, not bending is something I assumed was an intrinsic requirement for said part :shrug:

That's a great idea. I'll set it to the right length and then for any exposed threading I'll put a threaded sleeve on it. For any exposed threading I'll put a sleeve on it.
I read on another forum that you have to take the booster apart to remove the rod. On another forum they said to use needle nose pliers to remove a pin in the booster along the rod. I saw on a video with a hydro boost (not a vacuum boost) where the guy put the boost in a vice and knocked the rod out with a hammer.
The C10 truck show I entered is this Saturday so I'm just going to drive over to classicpartsamerica and get a booster with the brake rod, brake clevis, and mounting brackets all in one unit. That way I'm not trying to match up 3 different pieces on my frankentruck.
