I ended up buying pacific fabrication's, but there isn't a whole lot there for the money. Could've fabed my own, but didnt want to mess around with getting it lined up right.

Was it a universal one? I don't see how it attaches without other bracketry, which seems unnessary if designed for our trucks. I noticed you had to modify it some....

Do you still have the Eaton? I may be interested in the third member or maybe whole thing depending on price and if we could meet up somewhere sometime. It would be a spare for me, so not a rush thing by any means.

Keep up the good work!

Its made for 67-72 trucks by pacific fabrication. Yes it has brackets that bolt in the frame rails, but not going to bolt it in till the transmission is hooked up to it so i get it where i want it. And yes you have to run a brake line threw that side most people just drill a hole when i want to make it look like the other side.

Yes i do! Im sure we could work something out on the eaton.

Thanks Puller! Sorry been pretty busy but got a lot of goodies in the mail. Ill post some pictures soon

Lance, here are the pics your requested. There are 4 shots that show the frame clearancing and proximity of header outlet to hydraulic clutch slave.

Let me know if you need anything else. This first pic is header outlet to slave distance from looking to from of truck view.

This pic is above frame looking forward. This shows frame clearancing. There is a lot of frame removed here. I am probably going to modify the collector angle to remedy this.


This shot is rear facing showing the slave proximity to header outlet. It looks a little closer than it is in this pic. The slave is directly in the middle.


Hope this helps
