Looking for input from anybody that has converted a 60 - 62 pick up with this set up?

Manual transmission (T5), hyd. clutch, drum /drum, inline 6.

I put something similar in a 67 C-10 with a stick shift. Worked out great.

The hydraulic clutch makes the 60 - 62 a bit more involved, thus more $$$.

Clearance between brake booster & intake manifold one question I've got.

Since the 60-62 uses a 2-chambered MC, one side for the brakes and the other for the clutch, it might be necessary to use a separate unit for the clutch. With a little tinkering, a clutch MC for a mid-1960's Dodge pickup might be able to be adapted for operating the clutch slave cylinder. My 65 D100 with a 318 V8 was set up that way.

It appears that the clutch MC is included in the photo shown. It also has a separate shaft for the clutch pedal.
So it may have everything needed for the conversion. It also appears to be a CPP set up. As far as I know the components are OK
but they are notorious for providing poor installation instructions.
Several other aftermarket sources provide these same conversions.

Ok- - - -it seems that they did a good job of hiding the second MC in their photo. Given the tiny diameter of the booster chamber, have you considered just investing in a gym membership? A few reps on a squat machine would male your leg stronger, which is all the booster does!

lLOL!

Thanks for the input Fred.
If I get one it will be from The Filling Station, I make it over to the wet side of the state every now & then.

I highly recommend stopping in & checking them out if you are traveling I 5 in Oregon.
