Clutch Spring Q

If this forum was not around I would be throwing rocks at my Truck....My clutch spring is attached with a coat Hanger to the frame,for tension. (no Lie) thats how I got it. I have looked and cleaned and looked again and for the life of me I cannot see were the spring attaches. Anyone Know were? LOL 55 3/4 M. Gaff

 

If you find out let me know too !!

 

I have looked in my shop manual and ...nothing. There is a hole in front of the steering box on the frame...but it does not make since to me,cause it would rub the steering box??? i have no idea, I may just have a bolt made ..thread it.. drill a whole in it and secure it with a nut and lock washer for the spring to attach to it. That may work, but it may mean I have to do a clutch adjustment. Were is cambridge ??

 

Factory Assembly Manual shows this.

Previous page shows that L bracket attached to the engine block. It looks like it attaches under one of the oil pan bolts, but the drawing does not show much detail.

Is It near hamilton? Played Hockey there once upon a time...Mike

 

Yes,,
about 1/2 directly north of Hamilton.
Where are you located? and what are you working on?

 

I am actually in Denver Co. Been here for 15 years By way of Boston, We used to go to the Hamilton Arena every year (late 70,s) to Play the Hamilon Youth Hockey Minors teams,same arena they filmed Young Bloods (Hockey Movie). I am working on a 55 3/4 235, I started about 9 months ago...what a project. I bought the truck from a Contactor for 500$,he rebuilt the engine ..he says about 20,000 ago, It runs well..although I have not driven it yet.I just finished the engine and painted it with the origanal blue,with the top of the OPil canester orange, I even put the decals on. I think I am missing the origanal Air cleaner...I do not know what they looked like, and I do not think they were the air filters you wash with oil??? Whats your project? Gaff
