hydraulic clutch for 64

Just wondering if anyone has swap in a hydraulic clutch setup for a 64-66. I know there is a kit for the 60-62 but what about the later years? I am not interested in running a power brake booster but would like to up grade to a dual reservoir master cylinder from a later year truck. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

I'm a bit confused by your question as a '63-'66 comes factory with a mechanical clutch. Are you wanting to convert from mechanical to hydraulic?

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

Yes exactly I'm looking to put in a hydraulic clutch. In place of the mechanical set up. Here is basically my plan. I have a 64 k10 and plan on swapping a 14 bolt rear in and a dana 60 with disk brakes front and putting in a dual reservoir master cylinder for the brakes and hope to get a hydraulic clutch as well

I don't know if that would work on you're '64, I could be wrong.

Another option is the Novak kit, takes some modifications to the cast iron bellhousings but can easily be done.

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

Thanks for the info guys. I've seen that captin fab one before but don't plan on running a brake booster so I don't know if that would work very well. Looks like that Novak one may be the way to go. Then just have to figure out a master cylinder to work with it

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

you would not need to get the bracket for the booster just the clutch parts

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

I do make a booster bracket with a hydraulic clutch conversion for the '63-'66's. I just don't have a for sale thread yet. But since you don't want a brake booster, I could sell you just the linkage assembly for the clutch master.

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

The '63-'66 booster bracket with hydraulic clutch conversion is basically the same as what I make for the '60-'62's, including the price. The current linkage can be seen in post #44 in the for sale thread:

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=362375

As for purchasing the linkage separately, I will have to do some figuring to see what that cost will be.

Re: hydraulic clutch for 64

Here are a couple pics of how I did mine. In the end I picked up a hydraulic bellhousing but when I switch to the NV4500 I may fabricate another slave cylinder mount similar to this one.
