Have a friend's 86 Ford Bronco II sitting here. The clutch takes hold at
the very top of the stroke of the pedal. Is this normal? There is no
adjust at the master cylinder end and the slave cylinder appears to be
inside the bell housing... The clutch does not appear to slip.

Thanks for any inputs.

In most cars I've had, that means the clutch is worn out. Hydraulic
systems are usually self-adjusting, hence the lack of adjustment.

Forgot to mention, the clutch has about 7000 miles on it...

Probably normal. Those thinge all had a very touchy clutch pedal & are
prone to many stalls until you get used to them. The slave is
integrated into the throwout bearing assy. , which is why you don't see
an external one. If the clutch functions normally otherwise, I wouldn't
get excited. Drive it, if it doesn't slip, run it, when he gets used to
the "feel" of the pedal it'll run along time without replacement,
especially if it's only 7k old. Good luck.
