[OneLowSdime]

Alright well this is only me like 10th time posting anything in the BD section.....well im starting my traditional on my 93 standard cab s10 with a manual 2.8

Here is my question alright what are all you guys doing with your clutch master cylinders....also if anyone has pics of where they are cutting up front for the 1st gen manual trans. im sure i will have A TON of questions and i will get pics tonight and also start a project thread

[OneLowSdime]

anyone?

[layinlow88]

i'm interested too...altho the trad. part of mine will come second

[OneLowSdime]

what do u mean?

[83blazerlaynframe]

are you talking about when you drop the cab, the master will hit the upper control arm?

I sectioned that little "roll" out(of the stock upper) just enough to clear mine and it was super close. Now that i have flat plate uppers, they clear fine.. THEN i decided to move the cab back so gave more room. mine is still in the stock location.

You could remove it, cut the section of steel out that it mounts to, basicall "pivot" the whole assembly (where it connects to the pedal) up a few inches to clear everything, then box it in and weld it up..


Or move it up and shorten the rod a little bit.

i like the secound option a bit lol i also cut my control arm for it haha and it BARLY clears right now and i figure if i slam it 3" BD then im screwed lol

but thats weird...mine clears my upper control arm by a good bit...i dunno...but i plan on keeping up with your project thread...so take lots of detailed pics

[OneLowSdime]

dont worry im takin pics of how it sits now till i figure out WTF i am doing but i have my dash and wiring harness and all that shit out already just tryin to figure out what needs to get cut and where lol i no on the sides and on the back but the front of the cab is what is ****in with me

[layinlow88]

lol...that tends to get everybody...i take it your gonna angle your side plates?

[OneLowSdime]

i was thinkin about it but im not sure i kinda like the straight look a bit so i might just do straight im not sure i am just worried about the front lol gotta take care of that shit first and i gotta find me some steel........guess i might have to go get some street signs

[layinlow88]

lol...dont get caught

a sheet of sheetmetal isn't all that high...any machine shops or scrapyards nearby?

[OneLowSdime]

haha im wondering how tall a actual Street sign is (the one with the actual names on them) might be perfect hahaahahah but no i would be able to get signs for free (uncle has about 100 of them behind garage)

[OneLowSdime]

anyone else??????

[sadexcuse4s10]

street signs are most likely galvanized steel

sure you can weld it, but that shit gives off fumes that cause cancer. And you'll have problems welding galv. steel to mild steel sheetmetal like our floors are

[OneLowSdime]

i have non galv. steel signs (not actual street signs) but they are like the novaltee ones you can buy

recessed it and shortened the rod, works great

[xmb63]

Thats how i had mine it had a better feel than the stock set up.

[OneLowSdime]

It looks like a box recessed into the firewall with a shortened rod. I don't have any pics of that
