can I adapt the clutch linkage from a 66 c20 to a 73+ k10 frame?

[The66k10]

Ive been building a 1966 c20 body that I put on a 73ish K10 frame and I was wondering if it was even possible to adapt the clutch linkages to the k10 or if i would have to put a hydraulic clutch in? Any advice would be helpful

73 was mechanical z bar type linkage. I am sure it could be done.
Just can't say how. I would start with 66 pedal and linkage, to 73 z bar. Which mounts to block near oil filter, and has a bracket bolted to top of 73 frame

Sounds like a great project

Yea I've only been working on it for about 10 months and it's nearing the end I'm still pretty young so it's been a struggle especially since I keep getting told it can't be done instead of getting the help I need . Thank you for the advice

Anything can be done with the will and effort. Time and money help too.
What pieces of clutch linkage do have to start with

I have the pedal linkage for the 66, and have access to linkage from a 67 c10 and a 75 k20

Sounds like you have a great start. Get the 75 k20 linkage, that will do what is needed at frame to clutch fork, then you need to see how you can connect the 66 clutch pedal to the 75 k20 bell crank. Most likely 1 rod to customize.
