If all else you can also move the placement of the master on the pedal for different travel ratio but not sure if you will have to go that far.

You hit the nail on the head. The master and slave were two different sizes. I bought the brake booster bracket and clutch master cylinder from Captainfab. He sent the appropriate mc for the slave that I had planned on using. But I ended up using an Advanced Adapters kit consisting of a slave cylinder, slave cylinder mounting bracket and fluid line. This kit is specifically designed to mount a clutch slave cylinder to the old style Chevy cast iron bell housing. A very clean set up.
The slave cylinder used in the kit is the exact same one used for the 60-62 trucks. These slaves have a one inch bore. The slave I had originally wanted to use has a 7/8 inch bore, thus the 7/8 inch bore master from Captainfab.
So this week I obtained a new Wilwood one inch bore mc to match the slave and now all is good with the clutch.
And worth mentioning. I also had to change out the brake booster to a smaller 9 inch unit. The new clutch mc is bigger than the old one and came into contact with the 11 inch booster being used.
