83-84 TK4 and TK5 clutch hydraulic line source

[RayInStl]

The hydraulic line for 83 and 84 Ranger with the Toyo Kogyo TK4 or TK5 manual transmissions is not produced and sold anywhere. We've had to try our luck finding a good line in a junkyard. If you could get it to separate from the master/slave cylinders. Here in the rust belt, that's a pipe dream. I found a new source. 2012 Dodge Ram 2500's use the same fittings as our trucks. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the line by itself, but I did find it on a pre-filled kit that came with the master/slave/line already filled with fluid and attached to each other. I was able to swap the line over to my Ranger's master/slave and they fit perfect. The kit I found is on amazon for $56 as of this post (Amazon Link). They are available for order at most parts houses, but are considerably more expensive, of course. The set I got looks well constructed and the line is braided stainless.

Here's the new line from Amazon installed on a master and slave cylinders I bought at autozone.
