Did the 46/47 Pickup come from the factory with a 10" clutch?

  • It's my understanding, they did.
  • They did. Clutch details for the various 1946 models from the 1946 Mechanical Info & Service Specifications:
    CLUTCHES
    Fluid cushioned, single plate clutches in two sizes are retained for 1946. Super-Six and Commodore Six models employ a clutch having a 9 inch diameter driving plate while all eight cylinder and Commercial models are fitted with 10 inch diameter driving plate clutches as standard. Some exceptions as noted below apply when certain items of optional equipment are installed. 

    Following is a summary of clutch sizes and engaging spring combinations and the car models on which they are used.

    9-9-6 Clutch (9 inch clutch with 9 outer and 6 inner engaging springs). Standard on six cylinder passenger cars except when Vacumotive Drive, Overdrive or Drive-Master (optional equipment units) are installed.

    10-12-0 Clutch (10inch clutch with 12 outer and no inner engaging springs). Standard on Commercial Models. Also used on all six cylinder models equipped with Vacumotive Drive, Overdrive or Drive-Master options and included in six cylinder police car and taxicab special equipment option.
