TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
Yep. You answered your own question regarding the clutch. Regarding the flywheel, anytime you replace the disc following normal service life, check the friction face height and surface the flywheel. Don't forget to check the fork and pivot ball and replace the pocket and T/O bearings.
"Pocket bearing" is synonymous with "pilot bearing." It's sometimes referred to as a pocket bearing, because it resides in a blind hole, or pocket in the end of the crankshaft.The fork pivot ball should be semi-spherical and caged into a cupped socket in the backside of the fork. The majority of fork wear occurs at the tips that wrap the T/O bearing, at the pivot ball socket, and at the pushrod socket.
With a granny four speed a clutch should last a long time I'd order one from a NAPA or some store that can get you a high quality clutch that's NOT made in China And if you don't specify that when you order it , that's what you will get As mentioned , get the flywheel resurfaced at a localMachine shop And make sure your replacement engine has the proper crankshaft to use your flywheel GM used several different cranks A lot of them don't have the hole machined for the pilot bearing and may not have the proper offset for a manual Trans flywheel

Wonderful, I can see how this could end up a dumpster fire. hole machined that's pretty easy, proper offset, maybe not so easy.
