My 1965 C50 is a 292/SM420 truck. It needs a clutch. Rock Auto (as always) seems to have the best prices on the hard parts but they only spec up to a C30. Does the C50 have the same 12" clutch as the C30 or is the C50 equipped with a larger diameter, heavier duty unit?

IIRC, the 12" is the biggest clutch that will fit inside the bellhousing. Anything bigger would have to use the round adapter for the tractor-trailer style bellhousing and clutch, plus a larger-diameter flywheel.

There were many options available on clutches. It's best to pull the old one out before purchasing the new one.


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

Unless it's a special ordered truck,the 12" will work fine. The best deal I've run across is Ft. Wayne Clutch,$90.00 complete. I got my Bronco II clutch through them,and it's a Borg Warner unit,cost me less,complete, than I was getting quoted for just the pressure plate. Free shipping too. They sell on eBay.Item number 200323654464
