Recently got a tcase and got it in the rig. Got the floor figured out and it's also skinned now (just don't have pics) just installed a belt and alternator today. Bunch of other little things done. Ordering a clutch this week and a bunch of little guys for the engine bay.

Been working ALOT the last few months but have also been doing everything I can when I have a day off (all money no time now) but I have hit a wall. I need a getrag 360 clutch fork out of the first gen dodge Cummins trucks. But yet I cant find one anywhere. I cannot do anything without it and am getting desperate. Does anyone know or have one they would be willing to sell? Any leads would be great! Thanks guys
can you swap to a hydraulic throwout?

I haven't been able to find kit for a dodge nv4500 I was going with at idea until I was having the issue of finding them
what is the inner diameter of the throwout bearing? is that the same transmission that GM used for a bit too?

This was actually a GM one I converted to dodge. Input shaft is almost double the size then the Chevy one
if you can get the relative dimensions, I might be able to find you a hydraulic solution.

I will get someone to swing into my shop and measure it. You just want the ID?
ID is the majority - the only other issue with hydraulic throwouts is some transmissions are too close to the engine to retrofit. But I presume the length is the same as it was on the smaller shaft you removed - which, IIRC, GM did a hydraulic set up for the later transmissions... so that should be fine.
Out of idle curiosity - is there a picture of the arm you need? worst case, I suppose, would be to fab something up.

It's been a crazy few months but I figured I would update this thread for whoever still follows along. Finished the cruiser last saturday late at night and got to go hit the trails on sunday! Found a few small bugs that need to be addressed but other then that the thing worked better then I could of ever hoped!
Badass!!! Congrats!!! As always, love the H2s

Thanks! A few setbacks. I have one injector not firing and already have a new set in route. Also the front (rear 62 springs) could run with the rig and decided to bend the opposite way and stay that way haha. Just picked up some OME heavy pluses with extra add a leaf today hoping these will handle the weight alot better!Badass!!! Congrats!!! As always, love the H2s

Stretched it...
I have a set of OME heavy under the front of my 40 with the 6.5 and they work great. You probably won't need the add a leaf.

I have 2 add a leafs in the pack. Think that will be too much? Im gambling on them hopefully flatening out some to keep my same height and not making me low in the rear
