If you know any Land Rover folk near you, have a look at their clutch. They are all hydo.

My brother has one on his Cobra with a 351. I know this is a Ford but I believe the kit he has is also available for Chevy's. I believe it may be made by McLeod??? Has some goofy swivel hoses ends that leaked so we replaced them with more standard fittings and hoses. Pretty universal and easy to set up.

My '68 Jeepster has a hydraulic clutch - Toyota P.U. master cylinder and a Wilwood slave. Do you already have a clutch pedal in the truck? If you do, it's as simple as mounting the master on the firewall, marking and drilling a hole in the pedal arm and bolting them together.

62 chevy pickups use hydro clutch. but the master they use

has both the brake resevoir, and clutch resevoir..... the clutch

slave is a pretty common unit for swapping into other uses.

I run a Hydraulic master and slave cylinder with my NV4500 the cylinders are out of a 81 CJ-5 with the GM 151 4 banger. I had to fab up a little bracket to mount the slave to on the back side of the bellhousing.. I took a piece of 1/4" plate cut it out so it would grab the lowest bellhousing bolt and I had enough meat on the bellhousing to drill I hole thru it and bolt the plate at the bottom also, with two bolts holding it is secure and does not flex.

If you need some pictures I can try and get one for you, not much room up in there but I can try.
