Want to put in a T56, clutch pedal question.

In 2003-2004 I swapped what I thought was a 454 and TH400 into my 1965 C10, then for years dreamed of doing a LS swap after I found out my 454 was a 1968 C10 396 310 horsepower, because 396 doesn't have the potential of a 454 or 496 stroker.

Anyways, I've decided to just stick with the 396, LS engines are expensive, LS3 crate with accessories and ecm controller is 10K, not including a transmission. Used engines who knows how it runs/condition, and dealing with all the wire harness, fuel tank for injection, etc, the 396 with a new Magnum T56, I want the one with .50 6th gear ratio, with the 3.73 gears the truck has, should work good.

My truck originally had a 283 and powerglide, so there is no clutch pedal.

I sit in the truck and imagine where factory clutch pedal would go, and it seems it would be uncomfortable, I am 6'3 and have long legs, my right leg slightly folded in to push gas and brake pedals are fine, but left leg folded in is uncomfortable.

But maybe the clutch pedal doesn't have to be up as high or far out from firewall as brake pedal?

Anyone have pics of clutch pedal setups in a 60-66 that is hydraulic?

I want my left leg/foot to have more room, not pulling in upper leg, or bending lower part of leg at such an extreme angle.
