Now that I know what to search for I'm drowning in info. I've got enough of a understanding about the hydronic system. I'm confident in most everything about the swap except for the pedal assembly.
There's no reason to really make the pedals, some times the bolt in option works fine.

Thats all I'm looking for. Some before and after pictures of the pedal assemblies so I know what to look for and what year parts are compatible. Obviously a manual 91' 4.0L would be compatible but if I can't find that I'm just curious what other years would work. Also would be helpful to find someone who's installed a clutch pedal assembly cuz they'll know the little pieces I need to keep that I might over look.
The assembly changed in 1995, with the dash and firewall, if that helps.
The slave on your early truck will bolt directly to the firewall.

The stock master cylinder on my 91' can be used? And it looks like from what I've read that a 84 slave is a good choice, long stoke, right head on the shaft, etc... And then I just gotta find the right adapting fittings for -an to the flexible hose. That all sound right?
Here are the fitting adapters, Russel 640281

Every slave I've seen has a 3/4" bore. I used the '84 Ranger diesel, but anything you source, like from any Datsun, should work the same.
No matter which slave, you'll be replacing the rod with a length of all-thread, threaded rod. It needs to be long enough to function, and short enough to fit in place.

sounds good. Ill order some parts and see how it all comes out. hopefully in the mean time I can find a pedal assembly.
Im not sure how these work so this may be a stupid question but while looking for hydaulic systems I've seen reservoirs that allow the slave to bleed itself. Is there a reason no one has used one with a 5 swap? I keep reading how they are hard to bleed because of the lack of space...
Oh yea and purplehaze convinced me to get a 351W before I boost so Ill be swapping that as soon as I get my hands on one.
