I like that tool.
Biggest problem, hydraulic clutches give any way to adjust for free pedal.

$68.99 + s/h
A guy could diy one but idk if there would be any cko of it for sale because by time a guy figures out making it correctly, pays for materials- it easily gonna sell for that price or more.
I never used one, just stumbled across the video and thought maybe someone here might want that.

It's something I've never checked. Not that I've swapped many manual transmissions
I think 4 total. And one was in the 1968 Camper Special mechanical linkage -was that a C2500?
I must have just got lucky every time. The biggest problem I ever had was bleeding the slaves. I got lucky a couple times pumping fluid in at the slave cylinder up to the clutch master cylinder

Once that slave is shoved to the BH, on the ones I worked on , there is no adjustment.
IIRC, there may have been a plug to inspect that the push rod engaged the bearing fork okay.

I really can’t remember enough of the gmt400 clutch if this will help or not.
I never used one of these and have done half a dozen or so hydraulic clutches in these. Fleets just don’t use manual transmissions unless they have to.
The only thing I remember doing them is I hate them and it is always annoying.
I was thinking if shimming could be done maybe it would help one of you guys.

The adjustable throw out bearing I use was the best thing ever, it gives instructions for the same measurement and no tool needed other than a straight edge and tape measure... I made a adjustable push rod at the petal that also worked great... Several folks here have done it and they told me it's never been better for our clutches anyway...
