Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride

[Captainfab]

Not all of them are bolted in. Some of them are stamped as one piece with the floor.

Before you do any cutting get a high hump and you should be able to cut out the stamped section and bolt in the high hump.

Will do, I am now in search of the following:

High Hump Trans Cover
Clutch Pedal, mounting hardware and spring

Does anyone have a under dash picture of an installed clutch pedal?

Thanks,

There are 4 clutch pedal setups that I have found on 60-66 GMC/Chevy trucks.
1-GMC V-6 set up mechanical
2-GMC V6 hydraulic
3-Chevy mechanical
4-Chevy hydraulic
For mechanical set ups 1 pulls the bell crank (Z-bar) and one pushes and I don't remember which is which.
I have both mechanical setups and can photograph them if you need. I also have extra setups laying around loose if you need photos of that. Just let me know.. and thinking about it I have a cab that I can probably take better photos of since it has no gauges etc..

This truck came with at V8 283 3 speed on the column. I'm the one that removed it but that was 20+ years ago so I can't remember how it mounted.

I just need the underdash components not the linkage, I will be using a hydraulic clutch with this truck.

[66-PMD-GMC]

The reason I mentioned it is because the peddles are different.
I ran into this when I went from the V6 to an inline 6 and had to move the bell crank location.
It is pretty simple but I don't have a hydraulic setup so I have no idea what the peddle looks like. As far as I know, they all hang the same way. Since you have upgraded your brakes you will need a new setup anyway.
I will try to get some photos uploaded as soon as I can.

Mine is set up for mechanical too.
Probably wont help you any if you are going to put in the hydralic.

The yolk under the dash, that your brake pedal and e-brake mount to should already be set up to accept a clutch pedal, just a matter of getting the right hardware for the application you want to use.

I can still post pics of mine if you want them though!

[66ChevyMax]

I don't think it matter hydro or mech. I just need the pedal and the hardware to mount it. I will make the rest. This is what I have now and I would like to se a pic with a clutch installed.



Thanks

Ok fresh off the digital camera for you!

When I got mine from a donor rig at the junk yard, I installed it the very next day while I could still remember how. (I have to do things like that because I really am not as smart as people pretend I am...)

Hope these photos help, if you have any questions of course ask, I will answer what I can.

[66ChevyMax]

Thanks Murph you the man

66Chevymax,
I went the opposite direction, from stick to automatic. I still have the clutch side stuff for some reason. If you want it you can have it.

Craig,

Here's what I have from my old clutch setup. The only thing I couldn't find was the return spring but that is the easy part. I have pictured the whole assembly but I will send you the clutch arm assembly only. You may have to pull the shaft out of your brake arm assembly and clean out the crud from both ends because those 2 plastic bushings pictured on the clutch shaft go in the ends of the brake shaft, then the clutch shaft goes thru the center of the brake shaft. Kinda hard to explain but it will all be clear when you get all the pieces together. If this is what you need I'll ship it to you this week. The complete clutch arm assembly is shown in the last picture. The retainer bracket slips on the knurled end of the shaft and is secured with a bolt and nut. There's a hole in the opposite end of that bracket that secures it to the clutch actuator rod. You can see most of that in McMurphy's photos.

Should be able to get back to the truck in August.

The problem is they are far a few between, my big deadline at work will pass on Monday the 16, after that I'm on vacation and life will be back to normal. Trust me I am thankful to be this busy, as I am self employed.

The issues your facing and figuring out will help me with my on going build! Great work so far and can't wait to see the finished product! I'm fixing to drop an LY6/4L80 into my 65 SWB BBW once I get the frame back from powder coat.
