its not that hard...your pedal WILL be much closer to you when you sit in it, but if you reverse the linkage and mount everything on the tub you will be golden. You will also have to get a longer clutch line...mine is 45 inches, uses both factory connections, and is stainless steel braided.

not hard at all...mines on 20's but tubbed for 22's. Just move everything to the inside of the cab. You will have to extend your lines. You will have to build linkage for your clutch pedal to work nothing hard at all tho. Heres a pic of mine....

Re: tubbing for 22s clutch pedal ?

does that fit behind the dash? in the pic it looks like its kinda low and sticks out pretty far? nice simple setup there though.


the only thing that worries me about most of the reverse clutch setups ive seen around here is that whole mounting the clutch to a thin piece of sheetmetal like the tubs. Just doesnt seem strong enough to me?

Thanks guys the pic helps I was planning on doing to braided line it seems so much better and the stock line is leaking now so needs to go anyway.... but how close is the pedal to the tub? could it just be bent and mover over a bit to clear?

do you have your dash in yet (im not sure if that is the blue thing on the left or not)? Cause im pretty sure that your clutch will hit it, either at the bottom, or the panel that goes below the column. Mine is just underneath the cowl and goes just behind the vent and headlight switch, below the speaker

everything clears, the dash wasnt completely bolted in where it should be...thats 14ga. for the tubs and the brackets are made out of 16ga, i made the pedel pretty much except for where you push with your foot and i used 1/4in plate for that.

Re: tubbing for 22s clutch pedal ?

if i had pics of everything all bolted in final i would post them...it ends up right around where the air vent was....really tight to where the gauge cluster is.....i was getting short on time and didnt think of taking pics of the whole process....carlisle was coming quick lol. also i added maybe 2in. to the pedal to bring it down some more....

heres one i did-


also your pedal does not have to be super close to you just make a peice that follows the contour of the tub and the pedal will be able to run closer to it. That truck is a S10 on 20's BTW.
