I searched to forums and didn't find anything. I thought I'd ask here before I try an re-invent the wheel, so to speak. My Clutch is really if'ie (it's toast). Furry animals made their home in it decades ago, from the looks of it. I did managed to get it apart and only found one broken spring. But the urine/rust damage is very extensive and I'm not to sure it would machine out (very very pitted). A couple of the spring perches are worn down on one side with one having the top cap broken off. My questions is: Has anyone found a more current version clutch to adapt to these trucks? My thinking is. Since no replacements are available. Any 10" three finger clutch (preferably a truck) similar in height should be able to be adapted to my flywheel. I have the ability to drill a new bolt pattern on my flywheel for the mount points using my bridgeport and dro. Or, I could use the other entire flywheel/clutch setup that I have from a C-1, which is in pretty fair, usable shape. I'm trying to not lean that direction yet, without exploring all options. I know my truck will never see heavy service, but I do have the entire setup on hand. The C-1 is a lighter and smaller in diameter (9") setup for pick-ups. The motors are the same but the design of the bell housing mount points were different and the transmissions are different. My bet is it should work fine for the light use my truck will ever see. Or.....
As an example only. I found this one and I just get the feeling that as long as the overall height and the distance and ratio related to the clutch arms are close. It should be adaptable. The pressure could be changed if needed by changing spring rates, and that just leaves you with the bolt pattern which we addressed.
This is just an example. I would need to do more research and get some good measurements. What are your thoughts? Thanks for helping bring this old truck back to life.
