Jakevidrine,
Truck looks fabulous! Where did you get your clutch master and slave cylinders and how did you mount the master to the brake pedal and the slave to the bell? I am going to install a 5.0 with a T-5 into my 54 and have to figure out the clutch cylinder attachments.
Thanks in advance.

thank you! Initially I used a wilwood master and externally mounted slave. I fabricated a mount for the bellhousing, it worked but it needed constant adjustment. I changed to the tilton 6104 hydraulic throwout bearing with a tilton 7/8” master cylinder and -4an lines.
Save me your time and money, get the tilton hydraulic throwout, it takes up less room and works perfectly. You also do t have to worry about knocking it off if you hit something.
I did ave to reinforce the firewall around the master cylinder, I sandwiched a 4”x8” piece of 1/4” steel between my pedal and the cylinder. This is under the dash so it can’t be seen.
If you need pictures or more info please let me know.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try to connect the master cylinder to my existing through-the-floor clutch pedal so we will see how that works out.

It has been quite a while since I've posted anything on here so I figured it was time for an update....
I've finally started on the interior, the carpet is in as well as the speakers and the seat. I still need to get the windows adjusted properly so they stop hanging on the up/down stroke. Once they are done I will get the door panels on and finish up the headliner/backwall. everything is covered in dynamat, I used 1/2" dynaliner under the seat and 1/2" dynapad up the firewall to the start of the seat, it reduced the sound in the cab from 102 DB to 85 DB... I still want to add 3/8" dynaliner on the back wall and roof to make it a little quieter... my exhaust is wayyy too loud.
obviously I still need to adjust the hood to get it to sit right, I just put it back on this morning..

Nice work, I have to do what you did on my floorboards also. Where did you order your floor boards and were you happy with them? I am putting a 300 6 and a M5R2 transmission in my 56. I bought a entire 92 f 150 (transmission donor) and took out the whole brake/clutch/master cylinder assembly. It looks like it will all fit on the firewall but i don't have it set yet. I plan to use the hydraulic clutch master cylinder also. The pedal assembly off the 92 is relatively compact. I also have a pedal assembly out of a 85 F150 (engine donor) and it is huge and wouldn't work well.
Did you look at using original pedal assembly
