Straight 6 Chevy clutch help

I have a 1962 Chevy C-10 with a 235-6 it came with a 3 speend manual... i recently bought a 4 speed manual out of a 64 Chevy C-10 with a 250-6... the ****** didnt come with the old clutch, or anything off of it.... does anyone know what clutch i need to put this all together? Would it be easier to put a clutch for the 3 speed back in and reuse the 3 speed bellhousing? Or should I use the 4 speed bell housing and buy a pressure plate, throwout bearing and clutch fork.. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

 

head on over to either stovebolt.com or the inliners site. Someone there will be able to help ya. Not that noone here can, but you might be able to find what ya need over there too.

Good luck!

if you use the 250, don't do like I did and keep looking for a 9 1/8" clutch - even though it's stock and all the parts books say its correct, all the 9 1/8 inchers have been discontinued in favor of the 10-inchers, which bolt up just fine once you surface the flywheel.

as for the ****** itself, i'm not sure whether the three-speed would work. i know the bellhousing isnt the same from 235 to 250, but you didnt say what bellhousing you'd be using.

Does the '62 have the clutch slave on the right hand side?

 

i cant get the 250, he wants to keep it for his other truck his building... if its possiable i want to put the 4 speed ****** with the 3 speed bell housing... but the 3 speed is still in the truck so i dont know if it will bolt up...

 

Should bolt right up to the bellhousing.

 

Yes it will, the only thing is you will have to use a nut and bolt on the bottom two mounting holes on the 4-speed. The three speed bolts in from the inside of the bell housing and has threaded holes on the bottom 2 holes.-MIKE
