1950 ford flathead 11" pressure plate flywheel clutch old trick

[Bustingear]

Dropped this F series flathead truck transmission T87D-1into my hot rod and found it is way too much difficulty to depress clutch in fact almost not possible. I want to try and old trick by taking the center spring out of each of the clusters of three on the 11' truck pressure plate. I will still be running a brand new 11' truck clutch.
My question is for those who have done it, before i go to all the trouble of putting the motor and trans back into my newly painted frame and risk a problem is....Will it work and reduce the pressure enough to be tolerable? Perhaps equal to the 10" car pressure plate? I could go spend $450 on new flywheel clutch and pressure plate but i would rather take the hot rodders way if it works. PS i am already invested in a center slip drive shaft so that $250 goes out the tube as well if i switch to transmissions conversions so dont want to do that. I have read all the posts but have not seen any results for this operation. Suggestions and knowledge please.
