5-speed swap in

Im new, and looking to swap in a 1991 5-speed 2x4 manual into a 79 F250 2x4. Both are 300's (4.9L) so thats not really an issue.

I just start thinking about what size clutch? do I need to install a hydraulic reservoir or can I just use the pedal setup that I currently use?

Has anyone done something similar to this? Any pointers would be awesome!

The 91 trans will have a hydraulic slave cylinder so you will need to modify your firewall to accept the clutch master cylinder. Get the clutch and pp and such for the 91 b/c they must be compatible with the hydraulic slave/TO bearing assy.
