Interesting, yes it seems that it was just a random bonus bearing. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t some critical thing I had never heard of.

If you look very carefully you can see a broken bolt in there, I got it removed but I was one short.
So for balance purposes I bought all new grade 8 ones and trimmed them to length. The heads on the new ones are slightly smaller than the old will that cause a problem? I am in a hurry to get this out back together.

I'm sure that you'll be fine. Standard 3/8" bolts have a 9/16" hex head on them instead of the 5/8".

I got it all together and it seems to run quite good but I don’t have full clutch disengagement so I can’t get it in gear from a stop without jamming it. If I have it in gear with my foot on the brake and the clutch pedal all the way down it will keep running without bucking or dying but there is a substantial rev drop. I replaced everything but the clutch fork because they are “extinct”. With the inspection cover off I can see that everything appears to be moving properly I am just not getting functionality. Does this sound like a fork issue?

Some of the pushrods on the master are adjustable. If yours is make it a little longer.

I will check on that, it would be really nice to not have to take my transmission out.

Are you sure that all of the air is bled out of the master/slave set up?

It’s all fixed now and it works great! The bolts on the pressure plate were loose, when I torqued them down something must have been not quite right and after in installed the engine things aligned and now it all works perfectly.
It is also now like a 5lb clutch pedal push whereas before it was closer to a 45lb pedal.

Successful test drive last night, everything is great so far!! I also installed new headlight and turn signal bulbs, made a huge improvement.

My thermostat housing is pitted causing unstoppable leaks and I have two small fuel line issues to correct that are cause hard starting.(I accidentally set the engine on the hardline right before the intake side of the mechanical pump and squished it flat, replaced with rubber but I need a permanent hardline fix)
I am also considering installing these gauges, pillar gauges are cool but they are also expensive and offensively modern looking for this truck in my opinion.

Yeah I did the glowshifts w/pillar and I like it. Keeps everything off to the side. And if you add it up the glowshift is probably the cheapest option if you're going for 3 gauges.

It’s pitting on the hose surface.
