I think that could be adapted. but it would require a bit of re engineering and an aluminum mount for the pivot to be welded into the bell housing.
That said I would only do it as a last resort.

Yes that would be a last resort option, i will bend it back and brace it and see how that works.

Yeah that is what I would do.
I considered all sorts of things before I found one.

They ride on a central shaft. There should be a cap on the outside of the shaft, on the far right side, that is held in place by a small nut and bolt or screw. Think it's a weird size, like 9/32 or something? This cap needs to come off before you can slip the main shaft out towards the passenger side of the truck.

And don't forget to grab the clutch master cylinder bracket up under the dash. Should be held in place by 4 big nuts and bolts.

Should be able to just swap the transmission harness at the connector on the firewall to the right(passenger) side of the engine.

That's a pilot bearing the throw out bearing goes on the clutch fork.Or did I read that wrong?

No problem...glad I can help.

The harness will work with no problems. I used the auto harness in my crewcab, when I did my 4wd conversion, and it's a NV4500 . Just tape up the auto sensors, and then cut the 3 pin wiring connector....with the big round end. The two outside wires should be the reverse lights. And the center one (Brown with a yellow tracer I believe) is your neutral ground.

You need to run that neutral ground to a switch if you want your cruise to work. I ran it to a cobbled together switch on my clutch. So I could have it only start with the clutch depressed, and also have cruise.

If the donor truck is stock then grab the neutral safety switch, and brackets, from it. Then you should be able to wire it in easily.

Install the M/C bracket before the pedals.

Well,phooey...... I guess Google isn't the end all search engine. I went back and looked at my parts book and you are correct.

Good news/bad news, looks like you are limited to a 1990 or 91 for the same exact thing, but the good news is it shows same fork 1/2 ton all the way to 1 ton gas and diesel the same.

I better do that before I end up doing it twice.
