1956 F100 Hydraulic Clutch with Stock Pedal

My truck currently has a C6 behind a 390 engine. My ideal setup would be a TKO 500 or TKO 600 5 speed manual trans. Lokar makes a shifter that mimicks the original and Quick Time has a bell housing. I haven't been able to determine if its possible to adapt a hydraulic clutch setup to the stock pedal. Has anybody seen that type of setup? Or how is mechanical clutch linkage adapted to the stock pedal? With exterior and interior I like the classic look they had, so I want to keep the stock pedals.

I found this using Advanced Search:

Hanging pedals would also be a solution.

Try talking to this guy.....I have aTKO600 and used some Kugel hanging pedals. I ended up not being sure
what I needed in the way of hydraulic clutch setup. I gave them a call, ended up talking to Mike directly.
Very knowledgeable guy, and he sent me right out a Wilwood hydraulic master and external slave with his own bracket that
bolts onto the TKO. Nice set up.....not super cheap, (about $450) but was well worth the money, and took me less than 30 minutes to
install. Give him a try.

Sorry, don't have a picture of mine, but very nice set up. Mike is a Tremec dealer, and I'm sure he'll be able to put you a kit together
for original pedals as well.

Good luck.

Thanks for the link. I'll give them a call. I like to plan as best possible before committing to a project. At least enough so I don't see big holes in the plan.
