Travis, how is your brothers SM-465 clutch engaged? Is it hydraulic or cable driven?

Is that the Toyota Master/Slave? Is that a custom bracket for the slave? The clutch fork doesn't look anything like mine

I don't know what the master/slave came from. I didn't look close enough to see a name or anything on it. I can look tomorrow. A lot of the parts on the truck the guy just used what he had I think. We are going to strip it all down an go through it again because its just a nightmare on most of it. The crossmember, exhaust, radiator, wiring all needs redone. Has all same color wires used under the dash spliced in with bare wires and the old glass fuses.

Haha, sounds like a good long project! I'll figure something out for the clutch cable.

Well, not much has really happened. Got the motor mounts welded in. Next weekend we will mount the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate and hopefully set the motor in.

We found that the radiator is going to have to be mounted in the bed, already have a radiator and 2 fans, 1 push, 1 pull. Just need to fabricate a brace that will hold it at a 45 degree angle for proper cooling. May need an upgraded water pump as well.

You can't run a short pump and move the core support any to make a radiator fit?

Chevy makes a short and long water pump. If you run a short pump it will give you a little more room. I trimmed the back of my grill so I could move my radiator forward and have a short pump and a thin electric puller fan in mine. Also had to cut my core support out and build a new one and take my hood latch out. I just put pins in instead.

I think I'll just mount it in the bed, I have all the materials and a stick welder that I can use. A buddy that I traded all the old 22R motor parts to is gonna get me 2 fans and then i'll run some copper tubing down tucked up and up to the motor.

Would your friend be interested in selling that bracket for the slave cylinder when y'all tear that thing down? Maybe even that clutch fork cause it looks a lot different than mine.

He might be, I'll have to ask him about it. I'll let you know once I know. His truck has the radiator in the bed too.

Let me know ASAP, that would save me a lot of fabricating and figuring out how to mount something like that. Thank you!

I would probably use the radiator hoses and setup as more of a don't than a do list they didn't do a very good job I thought.
