The pressure plate was listed 1935-1940, should I be concerned because my truck and transmission are 1941? Are these parts what I need? The shop that did the machine work can drill the flywheel for the clutch.
Yes, get the 9in. 35-41 they came out with 10in. in 46-48, I have all my clutch and pressure plates made in Wayne Ind Clutch. If I'm getting it for a real hot engine for racing I have them put stiffer springs in the PP. The 9in. will stand alot of HP. Of course if your putting it in a dump truck you may want to go to 10in.
