hydraulic clutch conversion qustions

Ok that makes it a little more complicated (only slightly), since the original pedals aren't there.

On the plus side, you have TONS of room between the transmission and frame rail, since yours is sitting on a Dakota Frame. IIRC the original 40's Dodge Frame is 28" (Outside to Outside), the Dakota Frame is somewhere in the range of 40" Outside to Outside (in the area of the bellhousing).

Since the pedal assembly, master cylinder, etc all sit between the transmission & frame, you have almost 5-8" of extra space to work with.


The only issue I see with the pedals you listed, is the Master Cylinder & Clutch Master would be mounted under the floor, opposite of the factory design. If the master cylinders would have been mounted on the other side (facing the front of the truck), they'd be in the engine compartment. You'd have more space to work with with them in the engine compartment, since there isn't much space under the floor.

Of course, I'm basing that off of looking at my own truck, which is still sitting on the original frame. I'd have to see how much space you've got with the Dak frame (Which is wider, which in theory would give you more space than mine)
