WTB: Primary throttle shaft for a '65 carb

Need a primary throttle shaft for a '65 600cfm carb. Not sure if other big Ford's use the same piece as the K code version?

Prefer NOS or original that I can restore.

Is this part different than the standard carb rod?

Just curious as my original has been gone for years and I was just planning to buy a re-pop.

The bore size is larger than a typical 480 cfm carb. But, I am not sure if there are non-K code 600cfm carbs with the same shaft. I need the one without any pivot attachments and has no hole on the bottom part of the bracket.

Oh wait.....I see - you need the shaft in the carb right?

I had a brain f..t I thought you needed the shaft from the acc pedal assy to the carb.

I guess I AM getting old!

Hehe, that's ok. Yes, need the shaft that goes into the carb. I had an original re-plated, but buggered it up trying to tighten up the end.
