The truck had a 235 in it when I bought it. The flywheel for that was 4 bolt for 6 volt. When I found the 270 I had the 6 bolt pattern drilled into that flywheel. The clutch may have been original. It was 9 inch. I bought the flywheel that I am using now from a member of oldgmctrucks.com. It is 6 bolt for 12 volt. The listing at my favorite FLAPS showed a 10 inch clutch being original, but his part number had been succeeded by the 10-1/2 inch clutch that I have now.

When I had the current flywheel re-surfaced I discovered it to be very ugly with spider web cracks all around. If I can find the right flywheel, then I may buy a new aftermarket one and get the clutch that fits that.
