Update on my clutch problems. Well I kinda thought my problem was ahead of the trans. because the speedo did't register . So I just bit the bullet and pulled out my trans . A 3 in the tree. When out I could see the universal was fine and also the trans seemed fine. Out came the clutch and soon found that one side of the clutch plate was disintegrated . In went a new clutch and after some adjustment all is working fine . I now do not need to double clutch any more . Also the old truck seems to have a little more go off the line . After cleaning 65 yrs of grease and gravel off the trans. it could be just the weight difference that is making it quicker . Ha Ha. I would like to thank everyone for all the helpful advice I received along the way . Thank you.
