I have a 59 with the motor (235) and trans (3 spd) out of a 62 just realized the 62 has a hydrulic clutch , can the 59 pedal be adapted to work the 62 hydraulic clutch?

No. You'll need to use the bellhousing from a '55-'59, or from a '63-'72.

Hy phnman23, I think LONGBOX55 must have been thinking of a V8 when he told you to get a bellhousing for a 63-72. For the 235 you'll need a bellhousing for a 54-59 235 or 261, hope that helps.

Whoops! Ya got me! Had a bit of brain fade there, I was thinking about the clutch setup rather than what engine. Bad thing is that I did see that it was a 235 we're dealing with dang

the 54-59 bellhousing will have the fork on the drivers side and eliminate the hydraulic? I was kind of hoping to use it somehow

Hy phnman23, Yes the 54-59 bellhousing will allow you to use the stock clutch linkage, in my mind it's not worth the hassle of installing a clutch master cylinder to use the hydraulic clutch.
