Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to Dodge pickup trucks. What I need help with (for today anyway) is figuring out how to install my hydraulic clutch assembly.

The truck is a 1896 Dodge D100. Originally had a slant 6 with an auto. Then it got swapped to a 318 with an auto, then it got a manual with a cable clutch put behind it. After a while a 360 with an NP435 got thrown in, and the project stopped for a couple years. That's when I came along and bought it.

My problem is that I have no idea how to put this master cylinder in. There isn't a hole in the firewall that I can see for the pushrod to go through to connect to the pedal. Will I have to make one, and then fabricate a bracket for my m/c to connect to?

Another thing I can't figure out is what my slave cylinder is supposed to look like. I know where it connects, but isn't it supposed to have a little rod sticking out of it that goes into the transmission to release the clutch?

If it seems like I have no clue what I'm doing...that's because I don't hahaha. But I'm willing to learn and I'm fairly mechanically inclined so it shouldn't be too difficult for me as long as people are willing to help me out

 

Hey Dude! Welcome!

Buy a Factory Service Manual (Original Chrysler/Mopar) for the the truck that uses the hydraulic clutch & find one in the JY to get all the correct odds & ends to do the job correct,take pics that you can understand with marksalot marks showing up & down & other notable orientation so you can read your own pic better
Make a cardboard pattern locating off something that you know is common with both trucks (Brake master/booster mount ,steering column mount or wiring bulkhead hole)
