Re: Clutch?

I've had good luck with Centerforce clutches. Dual friction. It's a centrifical clutch. They have lots of different combos, maybe one to fit your truck.

Re: Can 12V horn from '50s' be adapted for 6V system?

Re: Throttle linkage and spring on engine side of firewall

The car is a standard trans. Most of what I see here has to do with auto trans. See # 12 response.

Grade eight - I doubt it. At most probably a grade 5. Can't you use thn old ones over again ? If not, use what you feel is safe.
