It is an S10 master cylinder that uses the GM 1/4 turn square lock type mount. Like a Vette master. I made a plate and cut a square window into it, then bolted it to the firewall to tie in the mount area to the reinforced area. Put the pedals back in and played around with some 1-1/4" square tubing and a long 3/8" grade 8 bolt until I got the angle and travel I wanted. Cut a sleeve of 1/2" round tube to go over the bolt and tacked it together. Pulled it out of the truck and welded and painted it. Pretty pleased with how it worked out. The pedal bottoms out on the floor just before the master cylinder bottoms out, so I didn't have to make a pedal stop
You have been busy.. Your clutch master cylinder came out nice! Very clean and simple. I may need to duplicate yours..
