016 Wicked Willys Back Clutch - Photo 16

Back to Article

Unfortunately for our project, Dodge trucks of the era most similar to our RB big-block and NP435 never had hydraulic clutch systems. Instead they relied on linkages that would not work with our frame or body. Our solution was to source a Ford Courier clutch slave cylinder. This cylinder uses a 3/4-inch bore and comes with two mounting points. With a little fab work and our Millermatic 190, we made this bracket to hold the slave in line with the Dodge clutch fork.
