What years for parts?

I'm trying to do an auto to manual conversion and I'm having a heck of a time finding the clutch peddle stuff. Anyone know what year they went from the mechanical linkage to the hydraulics? And do the gasers use the same peddle set up?

My '90 has hydraulics. I would assume the earlier '89 trucks do too.

Both my 89's were hydraulic
Cougar, I seem to remember someone posting about this a few years ago, and if I recall correctly, they used the pedal set-up from a gasser ramcharger ( the old suv )...
you might try a forum search and see what comes up..

Any 150, 250 or 350 gasser or diesel pick up or R/C will work.
I have used a set '92 W-150 318 pedals on a diesel swap before.
I know the '89-'93 trucks all have the hydraulic clutch set up.
I know my '85 crew had linkage.
Dodge made the swap over to hydraulic between '86 and '89, I am not sure of the exact year.

That is what I was basing my searches on, 89-93 model year D's, W's, and AW's. Just wasn't too sure about the gassers. I haven't had any luck so far. I've sent out inquires to salvage yards, but mostly I get no reply or we don't ship to Alaska.

PM our members, Mark Nixon, Deere Country, or Redlinear to see if they happen to have a set laying around. I think Deere Country just parted out a 5 speed first gen not long ago.

Mark confirmed the years and models, but didn't indicate he had a set. I think I may have found a set, negotiating with him now.
