Integrated lever assembly

The present invention is directed to a control lever assembly for a vehicle, and more particularly to using a hydroformed tubular member. A lever assembly is disclosed which is formed from a one piece, longitudinally oriented, hollow metal tubular member integrally formed with a first end, a second end, and a central section in between. A clevis is integrally formed in the first end. The clevis portion has a pair of spaced apart walls and an integral projection extending from each of the spaced apart walls. Additionally, the assembly has an integrally formed foot engaging portion extending from the second end.
