Yes I used the Dodge Hydro and Clutch master , I had to modify the fire wall mount, as-well as build a clutch pedal assembly. Also delete the ABS pump with a 3 port Willwood proportioning valve.

Do you think it would be easier to do the body swap or to just drop the 12v into the Chevy
Because I’ve heard that they sell a motor and trans mount conversion from the 5.7 to a 12v but I have no idea where I would find that kit

the front end will be the biggest draw back dumping the Cummins in a chevy setup, IMO body swaps are the way to go because the drive line science is already done. Then Its just a matter of cab mounts and linkage with a bit of wiring and the brakes. Provided you or someone is a competent welder to safely make the cab perches.
