I don't know about the slide system, looks bad to me, but the cable system I have is poor. In spite of my rework resulting in great improvement, there is still a tremendous amount of friction so the pedal sticks up and down to a degree. You have to push past where you want it, then back off and you have to release past where you want it and push again. Far from ideal. I have a couple of small air cylinders that I am going to use to build a hydraulic linkage.
I used a small master cylinder and a clutch slave cylinder from some import to make a hydraulic link for my '65 G10 Chevy Van with a 350 in it. Worked great, very smooth, difficult to adapt the parts though. I think these smaller cylinders will be better. I would offer you my cable but I don't think it is the way to go, in any case it would certainly be too long and cause more trouble than on my truck. Don't hold your breath waiting for me to get this new setup working, it might be a while.
I will crawl under and check the spline when I get a chance. Not sure how to tell the engagement short of taking it apart, I will try for pictures. A local drive shaft shop should be able to fix your shaft and splines.
Do both of your trucks pump? Mine does on "Volume", the selector valve is stuck there, no "Pressure" on the main pump. The Bean High Pressure system works fine other than the hose is short. Previous owner allowed the hose to freeze and I was only able to salvage about 50 feet out of 400. New hose is $8-$9 a foot, not buying much of that soon.
I bet we could get a good argument going, gotta figure out how to get the trucks together first, eh?
