In the future please limit your questions to one per thread and post them in the proper forum. Your clutch and transmission questions should go in the driveline forum.

Original type keys are available on Ebay. Any locksmith with a 1935-66 GM code book can cut them.

For service and repair manuals I like to have the factory service manual and a Motors Truck Repair Manual. Before starting an operation I read through both. The factory manual was written by tech writers and they refer to the special factory tools needed; the Motors Manuals were written by mechanics who have done the job and offer some tips and shortcuts.
