When I first acquired my '57 LCF the clutch was working poorly. As I moved it around the yard under its own power the clutch progressively worsened. It then froze in a spot between engaged and disengaged and I could no longer move the truck under its own power. Pulled the inspection cover to find the entire clutch cavity filled with mouse nest and the throw-out bearing rusted tight on the input snout. Pulled the engine and tranny and put in a new clutch, mine was easy to match 'cuz it's a '57 with a 283.
