I accidentally posted this first in the tech articles.
Is there a current source for a pre-bled clutch master-slave cylinder kit for an '83 F250 with the 6.9 and the T-19 (?or maybe -18?) transmission? I can find the cylinders and the line, but I'm not finding anything that lets me be lazy!

Think someone else asked this recently. Few weeks ago asked Oreilly rep told me they’re no longer stocked because they leak so frequently in shipping. Possibly an online retailer may have the prebled unit. Bench bleeding for the zf5 at least isn’t much of a hassle. Good luck!
I like the sentiment though work smarter not harder

This is my daughter's truck. I'll have her get the two cylinders, and I'll get the hose from Russ Repair, since it looks like someone is carrying on the business.

The Hose Russ offered, I bought one for the 86, was real easy to bleed the system. They are pricy, but worth it. Think I paid Russ
$62 for it, but now around $80. Forget the guys name that sells
them now.
Be sure to install the 2 fittings with the Roll Pin`s first.
Use a clean container, Drink Bottle, maybe an empty qt Brake Fluid Bottle.
Cut it in Half or so, add Brake Fluid, remove the Slave Strap. Put
the Slave in the fluid and pump it till not bubbles come out. Push
it in and connect the straps.
Install it on the Transmission.
Mounted the MC on the FW, connected the Clutch Line, and let it gravity bleed. Might have filled the MC a couple times to be sure.
Then attached the line to the Slave, and disconnect the Strap.

Do not cut the Strap incase you ever need to remove the Slave etc... New Straps are not available.
(maybe some one with one of the machines that makes Plastic
parts can make some...?)

As I remember the Clutch line has a straight and a L fitting on the ends. I attached the straight end on the MC end.

This is what worked for me, and seemed to work pretty good.
