I have a '54 1/2 ton 235. When I removed the clutch & pressure plate it measures 11". What is the best route to take for replacement? Everything in books show it should be a 10". When ordered it will not match up to flywheel?
Need advice please!!
Thanks,
Joe

My 53 also has an 11" clutch. I simply had the original unit rebuilt.

The 11in. was an option. Exchange the 10in for an 11in. When replaceing a clutch its best to pull the old one out before you order parts. You never know what you will find in there. Its nice to have the parts ready so you dont get delayed but this is one you should wait for.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

The Master Parts Manual shows that both 10" and 11" clutches were available in 1954. After 50-plus years, who knows what may have been installed. As the Wrenchbender said, always check to see just what you have.

I thought I remembered flywheels that resembled swiss cheese because of all the various hole patterns for all the different size clutch and pressure plates...maybe not.
