This isn't a big rig, its a hotrod with a 1939 Ford TopLoader transmission and I have to have a hydraulic T-O bearing, problem is that the candlestick is 1 3/4", there aren't any Hyd T-O for a car that are big enough, I've searched for truck T-O bearings and all I get are application, no sizes - know what I mean? Any of you mechanics know of a proper sized bearing? Doesn't have to be exact ID, I have lathe and milling machine etc and can make adapters as long as its pretty close. The Pressure plate is stock Ford, 3 fingers.
Heres a pic of the rolling chassis so you know I'm not ############ and I've tried the slave cyl & mechanical linkages etc but they just won't work, it has to have a hyd T-O inside the clutch can.
Thanks, Oj![]()

All your truck throw out bearings mount to the clutch, not a separate bearing like a car. The are a regular ball bearing enclosed.
I have seen some like your discussing on machinery. I would recommend finding a local bearing shop and see what they can come up with. Dont think you'll find it in a truck application -
Seems like a 93 Ford ranger throw out bearing and slave might work. Its a one piece unit .I know the inner dimensions are similar to what I think your requirement is. Go to a parts store and ask to see one. You can measure it. Advance has a nice one made of metal for about $50 now.

Very disappointing, none of them have a candlestick & floating T-O hyd bearing?
For the other responders, heres a couple pics showing the size of it alongside a typical automotive bearing (this from BB Chevy & Muncie) -
Oh look someone didn’t use a Chevy engine, thank god!
I have a 36 Ford with a hydraulic clutch, uses a setup as mentioned by jeabo, mine is out of a 99 ranger. -
motion industries has any bearing you can possibly need... if you know the specs, they will have it or make it.
Jaebo74 Thanks this.
