Should be Chevy, but you won't know until you pull it out 
Seriously, pull the old unit out and take it to the store to match with the new piece.

x3. I own a shop, and I can tell you there are several different version of each and every one of the Cheby components used in the clutch assembly. The aggrevation of ordering the wrong one over and over again makes that option stupid. Pull the stuff out and take it to someplace local to have them match it. Yeah, it will cost a little more, and take a little longer. But nowhere near as long as it will when you add up the time it takes to reorder the wrong part over and over again online, where you can't see it before you buy it.

AA and Downey make special clutches for Chevota conversions, these clutches require less travel because your Toyota hydralics has less travel, and generally will not disengage a standard Chevy clutch. Having said that, now you'll read all the post here on Mud where many claim they are using a stock Chevy clutch with no problems (I think many recommend a Luk brand name). I guess it's ok to experiment, but know that if you get into trouble, help is available!!!

thanks guys the po switched the hydrolic setup out for a linkage so im not sure the issue of travel will be a problem i was more worried about the disk and the spline count on the input shaft
when the old clutch failed it came to peaces kinda ugly like
then i managed to limp it home about ten miles
