BTW beautiful job on it. Looking forward to the finishing touches.
when i look at my european cars hydraulic cluch i see 2 band steel straps inside the cab running from the bolts of the clutchcylinder to the dash itself to prevent it from moving about .
that should be a pretty eazy solution on youre truck making straps that bolt from the cylinder to the mounting of the steeringcolumb or sumtin simulair
