Trouble finding clutch parts
Hey all, I have a ‘65 with the 305e in it. Truck is in great shape but the clutch is starting to slip. I have read through the forums and I know I need the 04-528 from rhinopac or AMS but I can’t find one anywhere. Does anybody know where there might be some of these available? The weather will be turning soon and I want to drive my truck all summer. I don’t really want to take it all apart and ship out the original to get rebuilt with my truck sitting the whole time I wait. Would love to get it here so I can do it all at once and be on the road again. Photo attached of my truck for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for any help!

Re: Trouble finding clutch parts
James, that one is out of stock too. Wondering if they are not being made anymore. I ordered one from a site in Canada and they cancelled too saying they don’t have any.

Re: Trouble finding clutch parts
what I found is it's easy to get the clutch pressure plate. Any 12" pressure plate made for a SBC will work.
This is the kit I used for mine. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...62-1/5332559-P the hard part is getting the correct disc. all the SBCs and L6s spin the opposite direction of a V6 305, so you'll need to use a different disc. I just reused the 11" one I had and it's all working fine.

Re: Trouble finding clutch parts - update
An update. The place James recommended above in Kentucky had one in stock and it appears to be correct with the collar on the correct side. I don’t have it installed yet but it’s here and that feels like a small victory already.
I also bought seals from a gasket company out in Washington I saw mentioned in another thread. I plan to do the oil pan and rear main seal all at the same time while I have things taken apart. Hopefully this summer I will be driving without any slips and parking without any oil puddles. Thanks for all the wisdom here in the forums and for the help. I will update when it’s all put together in a month or so when it gets warm enough to work on it. |

Re: Trouble finding clutch parts
I’m in the process of rebuilding my 64 with a305e , it looks like I can’t use a 12” clutch,the bolt holes on the flywheel are around 12.25” apart, is this right? The disc I took out was a 10.5. Is there any known part number that will work with my trans. This is starting to get frustrating

But here's a link to a bunch of clutch kits I found when I had to do the same thing https://6066gmcclub.com/showthread.p...ght=clutch+kit You can also have them rebuilt for about $60.00 and they're good as new. Just search for "clutch rebuilder" or "clutch shop" plus your town and you'll probably find a good ol boy that does this for a living.
