Sorry, no.
Mine was a '62, and I used a CCP kit for the power brakes and new hydraulic clutch master. I just used the stock original bell housing and slave.

You can convert to a hydraulic clutch by either using a '84-'91 truck bellhousing or by installing a hydraulic clutch conversion slave cylinder and brackets from Novak onto your existing bellhousing. I make the booster brackets with the hydraulic clutch conversions for '60-'72 trucks which includes a new clutch master matched to the slave you are using.

Alright fellows, I need some help with my A883 conversion.

1) Does this conversion require a high hump tunnel to clear the shifter box?

2) Last night I ran into a clutch issue. I am running the stock LT1 flywheel which is 153teeth. I ordered a 1984 C10 5.0L clutch that would have been with this transmission. When I went to install the pressure plate, I found that the bolt pattern of the pressure plate is about an inch larger. It turns out that the 1984 flywheel was a 168teeth. I am looking for recommendations for a clutch for this combo, 10"/10-spline/153teeth.

1) It didn't with mine - I used my stock low hump tunnel.

2) Cant help you there.

Greg.

Here's a picture of the bracket I bought from Captain about 5 years back...it really worked out well for my situation and like the transmission, it pretty much just bolts right up. I painted the bracket to match the truck and Captain included everything else.

I did have to source a braided line to the slave cylinder...other than that the tranny and the clutch were turn key to the original.
