I have a 79 with a richmond 6 speed. I am considering switching to a hydraulic clutch. Who has done this what do I need and do you have any pics?

 

The master cylinder from a 85 one ton truck will bolt right up. In a 78 the holes were not drilled all the way through but from the inside the metal part had the holes already drilled. You need to finish drilling them through the fiberglass firewall and NO you do not need to reinforce the area.
As for the slave cylinder just use whatever fits the donor bellhousing. I then used a short piece of brake line to join the two.
You do need an external resovior but if you get that far I can post a parts list on a very good inexpensive resovior.

 

So I cannot modify my stock bellhousing?

I'm ready to gather all the parts.
