cheech 03-11-2003, 06:04 PM Im toying with the Idea of swapping out the Mechanical clutch linkage on my K3500 and swapping in a hydraulic set up from a newer truck.Has anyone done this and are there any aftermarket conversions I hate digging through junk yards. indysand 03-11-2003, 07:00 PM We used either a McLeod od Willwood master cyl on my friends truck, combined with a factory late model slave cyl. Has worked great for 3 years now. Phil cheech 03-11-2003, 07:15 PM Can I use my present bellhousing or do I need one that accepts the slave cyl? indysand 03-11-2003, 10:30 PM We had a bellhousing that had the mount for the slave. You may have to make a bracket to mount the slave. Phil SandmanII 03-14-2003, 10:48 AM You will have to do some firewall work to mount the master cylinder there. I did this on my '82 and basically I cut out the ridge and welded in a new plate and then mounted the master cylinder to that. I did also have to get the correct bellhousing. It worked well. I ended up going back to an automatic for mud racing though. | |
