I have a 1955 Ford Pickup with 292 V8; 3 speed tranny with OD. In order to make the truck drivable for my wife I have put in an IFS front end with R&P steering. However I would like to change the manual clutch system over to a hydraulic clutch. The 1955 model has the brake hydraulics on the frame. Would also like the hydraulics for the clutch to be mounted low - as it keeps stuff off the firewall. Does anyone know the best parts to buy to convert this to hydraulic? Also what modifications need to be made for the parts to work correctly?

 

I like your idea, and have considered it myself.

I have a 64 F100 W/ 292 and 4 spd t98. My bellhousing still has the "ear" for the slave cylnder on it. and was woundering if I cold just install a new 50's master and slave cyl from LMC or concours, etc.

I'd see no reason why it wouldent work. However, the mechanical clutch works fine and as such it offers realy no advantage.

I suppose there would be little effort in converting it.

 

Hey Lawrence Did ya get your clutch figured out yet?
