How are yall

Hi I am new to the site. Name is Jay and I have a couple questions for yall. I have an 83 F250 , 351 with a top loader bull low 4 speed. How much of a pain is it to convert it to hydraulic clutch from manual, only because the linkage is worn badly. How do I stop the front tires from leaning out and wearing the tread in about 2 months? Thank you

Your front springs are wore out or else all your bushings are in your TTB which since it all piviots off the middle the middle sags lower. Clutch could take some work, but can be done, you will need the whole peddla assembly and master cyl from an 86 of something then a hyd. slave, but I'm no tsure if that slave will go with your mechanical bellhousing.
