Default Re: 1950 f5 clutch

The 11 inch clutch equipped trucks have a cast iron half bell bolted to the back. I send all my clutch work to Ft Wayne Clutch. They do excellent work and turn around is fast.

I have an engine from a truck that the farmer tried to break loose by dragging it with a tractor. It didn't work. The valves were stuck so hard that the cam forced one of the followers plumb up onto the valve stem until it broke the cam shaft. That engine was a b!tch to get apart but I was successful. If you want to break it free keep this in mind. I would minimum pull the heads & manifold to check the valves and cylinders. This will aid in freeing things up and/or confirm further processes depending on the condition of things in there. All it will cost is head & manifold gaskets if things are not in too bad a condition.
