Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

1985-GMC,
This was my first prototype of the slave cylinder mount based on some rough measurements I had made. I already made a gusset as you suggested, but didn't weld anything as I wanted to check for fit before welding it. It turned out very close. but as you pointed out the rod angle could be improved. I was planning to cut a new plate that shifts the cylinder 1/2" closer in toward the bellhousing. I was also planning to replace my bellhousing at some point because the previous owner of the donor 73 K20 I pulled it from had installed a 6.2 detroit diesel and cut a hole in the drivers side of the bellhousing for the starter
Luckily I found another member on here selling a factory hydraulic clutch bellhousing. This way I can kill two birds with one stone. I'll probably finish the bracket as is and either throw it in the spare parts bin or give it to someone on here who needs one.
