So I should be trying to locate a clutch. My problem is, I don't know what size clutch I need. The transmission is so covered in grease it'll take me hours to clean before I could ever find a serial number. And I wouldn't even begin to know how to clean it properly.
So I'm pretty much left with I have to take it apart and measure the clutch, yeah?
Here's pictures of the linkage if it even matters.

I did do a quick search and a 65 Dodge truck does call for a slave cylinder, so that setup looks correct, what is interesting is that there is a threaded ajustment on the linkage, you could try to adjust that rod, this adjustment would compensate for the clutch disc wear that I mentioned earlier. I would look for a shop manual with the procedure, but looking at your clutch slave cylinder movement Id say it needs to be longer. You could try that before installing a clutch. It is called 'clutch free play ajustment" in most shop manuals.
