What a PITA with access but it is done and I have a clutch that works better than it has in a long time. The old dot 3 was black. I went through 2 bottles of fluid and it took some time to burp the master and slave line but it's DONE!

I'll be back here as I have a few other projects on the ole truck.
What's a good web site for interior parts? Head liner, center arm rest etc? What are some good alround shocks? With her running so good I feel like keeping her for a while longer and putting some money into her.

With the truck running press the clutch in, if you hear grinding etc the bearing is gone

I heard a little bit of noise. No grinding, just rattle. Pretty sure the master needs bleeding. Research shows these are a bear.
