Unless the truck is pre 89 you shouldn't have to move the wiring. There should be a round rubber grommet next tot he wiring bulkhead. Remove the grommet and install the slave cylinder reservoir and hook to the clutch pedal.

Here's a pic of the little master cylinder for the clutch cylinder on the crewcab....you can see the round cylinder going through the firewall next to the wiring, and the little reservoir mounted up on the cowl.

There is also a little bracket you will have to mount for the hydros to lock into, you can drill the holes with a right angle head. The clutch and brake pedal will bolt right in

The holes for the bracket will be already in the steering coloumn for the bracket. I think the trans cross member needs to be changed too. Also both driveshafts.

SHould be the same hump....maybe. Seems to be a lot of controversy over big vs small tranny humps. Some say auto truck were smaller, some say they are the same...don't really know for sure.

Take some measurements, and if they are the same cut a hole for the shifter and your done.

If its 4wd I would bet it's the same hump. Some will say they have seen small ones on a auto truck but I never have

STANDARD CAB 2wd autos will have the low, curved floor hump, ALL others in the 1989-1993 era will have the taller, wider hump.

FYI, the bulkhead electrical plug location was revised in 1988, to allow for the hydraulic master cylinder.

Mark.
