It's a hydraulic clutch so there's no adjustment.

thanks for the response! I thought it might be but I have never had a truck that was a stick.

I thought the hydro clutch system came in 86 with a hole in the firewall and the 4 holes to mount the clutch MC bracket to the colum stand under the dash.

85 last yr for mech linkage and stepside bed.

the very reason I am swaping my 85 cab for 86-93 cab.

but then again,I have been wrong before.

My 84 had mechanical linkage.

84 should have mechanical linkage, adjust for 1 inch freeplay at the pedal. Nut to turn is near the bellhousing boot under the truck. Service parts were still available from Mopar perf as a E/B body clutch parts kit, but I think that was disco'ed.
The return spring pulling the arm back from away so the throwout bearing had some space was notorious for breaking on these as well so check for it.

As for hydraulics, pretty sure 1st year overall from factory was 87s with a 6 cylinder, then they all got it in 88. (trucks)

This is the clutch fork adjustment rod, with the nut you rotate to adjust at the bottom right. Bring your favorite penetrating oil along, though, as the nut is often frozen to the rod:




This is for B-vans, but D/W will be very similar:
