Next thing to be fixed.

My clutch. I just finished up running new wire for my ignition starter and alternator. I go to give the old beast a test start and it fires right up. Jump in press the clutch and the !&$@ peddle goes easily to the floor and will not go into any gear. Seriously!? So here is the results of my trouble shooting.
First things first: 1969 patrol. Hydraulic clutch.
1. Pedal can be depressed easily but will spring back up when released.
2. When the beast isn't running I can put it in gear and when I hit the starter it will try to lurch forward
3. I don't see any leaks around the master or slave cylinder
4 when I depress the pedal with my hand and look under there is no movement of the slave cylinder.
I think my issue is with the slave and I my go ahead and change out the master as well.
Here's my questions. Am I on the right track? And, does any one know what master and slave cylinders are a fit ? I don't need original parts. Anybody changed these out and used replacements found in the auto parts stores or Amazon?
Thanks
