In my 59 Elky
I used a bellhousing for an 87 Chev pickup and used that slave cylinder.
This car does a lot of just sitting, and it has taken 6 years for my slave to show any sort
issues (internal leak somewhere that will allow the car to creep if you hold the clutch in too long---like traffic jams), but no leaking to the floor.
Only drawback to this is that you need to get a spacer ring for your Tremec.
Might still be available thru McLeod, but I have seen others that do not require
machine work on the Tremec's bearing retainer as mine did.
I tried to use as much OEM type stuff as possible on both of the Elkys,
And will do the same for the Ranchero.
I have heard that a lot of the aftermarket wet systems need to regularly exercised to prevent leaking-----sitting in the garage for 30-60 days without excercising the clutch
may lead to premature leaking (<<<that sounds funny) and failure.
