I see ebay UK has a lot of parts but the shipping is killer.

Finaly worked on this for a few hours
i swapped the rubber line and clutch slave, bled them, clutch seems to work

​​​​​bled brakes and rears now work since po had replaced alot of hard line and new rear wheel cylinders

fronts had some hard lines replaced and rubber lines look almost new , was able to bleed to the lines but the wheel cylinders look old and must be siezed and rusted solid cause no fluid out of them so wheel cylinders need to be ordered

from all the nightmare stories about bleeding brakes i had no issue, just took a little to get fluid to the rear since dry lines and new master cylinder


pics of old and new clutch slave , floor and trans hump was pulled to change the slave

Little more progress, the truck was running on a toggle switch to the coil, i disasembled cleaned and repaired the key switch so i can now use the actual harness

​​​​​​i also have power to all the front lights and fuel and amp gauges one idiot light and the gauge ,lights work so we are grtting there slow, i also switched to negative ground just because, and the generator sounds horrible and has no output so on the list to goto my rebuilder

wish i took pics of the switch apart it was interesting and aparently a big issue is a loss of connection on the pin that feeds power to the ign, i was told pin needed to be ground out and make a new , i was able to use a spring loaded center punch to repress the edges and it works again for now
