I used the stock Chevy master cylinder and the Dodge slave cylinder. I got a complete line from a Dodge Dakota at a salvage yard, it had the same fittings as the Dodge Cummins slave cylinder. I carefully cut the plastic line away from the metal fitting and had my local parts store crimp on a new hydraulic hose to it and my upper GM steel line. I think they used 3/16 hose. The Dodge fitting had to be carefully crimped because it had to protrude enough to seat in the slave cylinder.

Thx Kirby , you don't have any issues with the slave and master not being compatable size wise

The clutch release is fine, it works like it is supposed to.

I bought a junkyard flywheel that had a new stock clutch installed on it just before the truck was wrecked. It has chatter when hot but that is not related to the hydraulics.
