probably not. you would have to be rear strong to pull /push that clutch in and out.

Think the later '80's trucks used the Hydraulic clutch. Check out a junk yard to get the whole ball of wax - pedal to the bell housing. It should fit in the '83 cab.

ok now I see the light duhhh
they used a cable systen in the cars, mustangs,
they have a rachet sys. for auto adj.
after market makes a quadrant to replace the rachet as
the rachet does not work well with a stiff clutch
should be easy to swap one over

Medium duty GMC topkicks use a push-pull cable.
