1966 F100 Mounting a Hydraulic Clutch Pedal -Video

Image
Video of the location on my truck Just bought a Hydraulic Clutch from Modern Driveline for my 1966 F100. So this kit needed to be modified to fit my 66. Seems that the kit was designed around the 1961-64 firewall design. As many as you know the 65-66 2wd used a different firewall and inner fenders. This is NOT the right orientation of the bracket but is the location that I have to use since the firewall  has the ribs. The pedal needed a new location point for the rod. This is a great spot to use. One option is to create a sleeve out 3 1/2 inches from the pedal. Another is to weld on a bracket. I actually added a 1/4 spacer to align the rod (not pictured) The knockout is the exact location I used. The inside bracket is used for several applications and the master will sit slightly off due to the way it mounts inside.

This stuff sprays awesome!  So I built a paint booth inside my garage and sprayed the bed. Unfortunately the clear was "Clear" and shiny. So you MUST Shake and Stick Stir this stuff before you mix. The flatteners will settle on the bottom. Wife loved it but not the look we were going for. Much better results. Paint Booth had three solid sides with the front being removable. Sprayed the bed inside with Upol Rapter Liner and tinted it the same "brown" color. I used 100 ML per instructions and it looks very dark. It is not black but is darker than I wanted. BTW --Putting a wood floor down as well.. Forgot the mention my deal. I found an 18" explosion proof fan for $120.00 on CList. Score! Stuck the fan in the garage s...
