Barry! Thanks for coming back.

Ok, so the bell housing doesn't come off for this job, but how do I get the pilot bearing out? I don't wanna jam a finger in there and accidentally shove some dirt inside the engine. Does the hole go all the way into the engine parts?

I guess I can clean the bell housing up when I pull the engine for painting and do it all at once.

I fiddled around with it and got the clutch to fall out on my hand (Ow!). This is what it looked like. Is it too thin?

The hole does not go into the engine. I have a small piece of 3/8 pipe with a cap on one end with a zert fitting . I filed some grooves perpendicular to the threads about 3 threads up, like a tap. I turn this into the bushing or bearing and use the grease gun pressure to force the thing out. Or you can use a slide hammer with a hook on the end and bang away.

I run a 5/8"-18 tap all the way into the bushing. When the tap hits bottom I keep on turning it and the tap pulls the bushing out of the crank. If you have a bearing instead of a bushing you will have to use a slide hammer.

Here I made it easy for you. The 12 inch clutch found in the bigger trucks is a direct replacement for the 11 inch found in the smaller trucks and most of the 4000 series trucks. Its a New Generation clutch kit PN# 04-528 This kit us complete with disk, pressure plate, throw out bearing. roller style pilot bearing, and alignment tool. My local vendor actually has a few in stock. so for about 2 bills your good to go. BTW i did the same clutch in my 65 last year, and a chevy 12 inch in my 348 v8 420 trans 60 chevy truck a few years back. BLC

Well I ordered the clutch kit from the 3rd party seller on Amazon. They emailed me the next day and said, "Yes, it shipped out today. I'll have a tracking number for you soon"

Today I got an email that said "Sorry this item is not in stock and the last one was damaged so they arent making them anymore." That's great customer service, right? Lie to me first, then fess up when you get caught.

Their info is

I should have a refund by Wednesday or Thursday so I'll start shopping again then.
