I need a Hydraulic Manual Bell Housing. Anyone have one to sell me for my wife’s 79 Shortbox?

I can fab ANYTHING out of metal. I have a fully equipped shop just for working with metals. Welders, Drill Presses, Lathe, Grinders, Belt sanders, and a BUNCH of metal working hand tools. Two 240 Air Compressors. One is an 80 Gallon Two Stage and the other is a Single Stage 60 Gallon. I also went to one of the best Autobody Tech Schools in the Nation in the late 80’s.Ran a Weld/Fabricate shop for years. Making or fabricating stuff is no problem. Computers. That’s where I just don’t touch them. Only when it pertains to cars/trucks. I know I will need to fab of make stuff. That’s no worries. I do have a 1986 3+3 1 ton Dually that is a factory manual trans with the hydraulic clutch. I can always use that as my template.
I hear ya. Having done this swap, I wouldn't try to fab it. At my age age, time is worth way more than money. Getting the pedal assembly out is a full day in itself.

I drew this up a while back, it may be useful if you fab a mounting bracket to convert.

Now draw him a clutch master bracket for a square. I think making a bracket and a new pushrod would save a bunch of time
