Re: sm-465 hydraulic clutch swap
You can see in the first pic where two rivets used to be on the clutch pedal. Cut those rivits/spot welds out and the bracket comes off. In the second pic, I ran a rod through an existing hole in the pedal assembly and welded it in. I then drilled two holes for keepers on both sides to keep the master cylinder rod centered. Don't mind the ugly rod, that was a trail fix due to bending the rod. You will need to make a pedal stop so you don't end up bending the rod like I did, which resulted in the clutch not disengaging. Doing so, almost caused me to roll over backward at the top of a 30' waterfall, which would've hurt like hell. Luckily I though quickly and shut the truck off. My crawl ratio is nearly 150:1 and the diesel will not stall when everything is in low.
Hope these help.
