pedals
I found it easier to just order the pedals from the dealer for $65 for brake and clutch pedal. I am going to do the same transformation in my 06 silverado and found the parts at a dealer in Delaware pretty reasonable.

Pedal
This is true.
I have to wait unitl my friend goes back to work so that he can make me an adjustable rod for my master cylinder so I can drive Mr. Gibbs. I hate looking at it and not driving it. My. Giibbs realeases all the way down on the floor board and I do not want to drive it this way. Just another note to some of you doing this that you may need an adjustabel Master Cylinder.

Master
No man I paid my friend at the trans shop to do the swap for me. Here in Maryland it is a little to cold to be laying on our backs plus he only charged me $250 and it took him 2 hours to do it. But I would rather have the adjustability that way anything I do to it is just a simple twist of the rod away. You see I hate **** to be difficult or not work right the first time so thanks to you guys and my friends machine shop I have to be patient and what for this rod s that it will cure that problem.

6 speed swap
I'm gonna be doin the swap in the next few weeks,I thought I would go ahead and swap in the 4.56 gears this weekend and ran into a few snags.1. I bought the gears and tru-trac from summit motive 4.56,s summit install kit they said I needed a diffferent bearing than was in the kit,ratech carrier bearings cant remember the part# but it was the wrong damn bearings. I came to find I just needed stock carrier bearings and races-99 nbs silverado.I also tried to reuse the stock pinion shim but it didnt seem to give me any preload on the rear pinion bearing, I'm gonna try and get a new chrush sleeve tues. and try to finish the gear swap.Swapping gears is not a fun job!!! Also if you buy the tru-trac and bolt 4.56 gears on it the friggin cap that goes over the hole in the unit wont work with 4.56's(gear is too thick) i had to get the porta band and cut part of the cap so it would slide past the gear.Its held in with a snap ring so it dont think it will hurt.This is how far I have got so far maybe better luck next week.
