donor truck
bout a week ago one of my friends tipped me off about another 12 valve sittin so i went n talked to the guy. its a 96 4x4 reg cab with 220k on it with an NV4500. its a one owner truck. it runs n drives great. interior is S-H-O-T, body is in alright condition n the frame is rusted. there's way too much little stuff wrong with it to get it on the road. i gave the guy 1000 cash n loaded it on the trailer. im going to swap the manual trans into my 95 auto.
before i do though, im going to order a clutch from south bend, but i need to know what to get. there's barely anything done to my truck, i have a mack rack plug, 4k gsk, afc washers flipped, n no plate. the only thing im lookin to add to it are some 5x12's and a good turbo n maybe an airdog to feed it all. i tow with my truck quite a bit so im just wonderin what for a clutch i need.
n also for what im doin is there really any need to upgrade the input shaft? thanks in advance

i'll get some. the other truck really aint much to look at, just a virgin 96 reg cab with some rust and dent issues. n its missin a door n tail gate now cuz my buddy just bought a 94 n his drivers door wouldnt close n the tail gate was shot. i got busy yesterday yankin out the tranny n then a bunch of other stuff n forgot to call southbend so that will have to wait until tomorrow.... i really can't wait to do the swap so i can actually get power to the ground

i would call valair clutches and ask them i have friends that have both south bend and valiar and the south bend guys are having more problems with there clutches and with a nv4500 if your hauling heavy loads and racing it i would atleast put a billet shaft a 13inch clutch upgrade and lock tite the crap out of the 5th gear nut
