Hydraulic clutch setup?
Were there any later squares that had a hydraulic clutch? I have been thinking about swapping the trans out in my truck, but would like to run a hydraulic setup. If not, what would be needed to make it work and look relatively factory?

Re: Hydraulic clutch setup?
The very last of the square body 1/2 ton pickups with manuals had a hydraulic clutch. I have a bellhousing from one of those in my '78 straight six with a T5 swapped in...I wanted a hydraulic clutch too. I think it's from an '87. I used an '87 slave cylinder, and I think i used a master from an '88 and rigged it up to work with the clutch pedal already on my truck (it was a three speed originally).

Re: Hydraulic clutch setup?
Ok, cool. I am thinking of swapping in a T56, and already have the bell, slave cylinder, etc. I guess I just really need the pedals. How hard are those to find?

They pop up every now and then. Im doing a 4 speed swap. I bought a set of clutch pedals of a guy on this site last week. Keep a eye out here, ebay, or check some local junkyards. About $60 is what I paid plus shipping.

Do you mind posting a couple of pics, so I can see what I am up against? I would sure appreciate it.

Re: Hydraulic clutch setup?
What parts are you wanting to see? My pedals havent came yet and I have the 4 speed torn down for a rebuild. I have a t56 but it was going to cost 500 just for a SBC to t56 bellhousing so financially it was cheaper for me to just do a direct swap trans. On top of that it needs a shifter conversion, new driveshaft ect to fit the t56.

Re: Hydraulic clutch setup?
mainly the pedals, and where the clutch master mounts. I'm in no hurry, this project is likely a little while off while I collect parts.
