'83 C30 mechanical to hydraulic clutch

The clutch linkages on my '83 C30 tow / junk hauler are getting worn to the point something's going to break soon, and the clutch pedal pushing is worn to hell. I saved a complete hydro clutch setup (pedal, reinforcement rods, master, line, slave, bellhousing, fork, etc) from a '86 C30 but didn't take the pedal hanger

Looking at it now the one on my '83 looks like it hangs the pedal differently - one bolt thru both brake and clutch pedals.

Anyone used the later juice clutch setup on an older truck without changing the hanger?

What diameter is the clutch from the 86?

The pedal assembly is different between the hydraulic and traditional set up. .
