I'd like to get some input on this as well.. I wound up putting what was claimed to be a heavy duty clutch from Auto Zone in my 70 Longhorn this past summer when I did my motor swap. I also put in a new flywheel. It has worked very well but I will say this... My truck had its original clutch still in it. I have the original invoice to my truck and it states heavy duty clutch was added at the factory. The original clutch still worked pretty good but let me say this, the original clutch was MONSTER HEAVY DUTY compared to the new one I installed... Got my truck from original owner with 84,000 miles on it and he told me he never replaced the clutch... I use my truck like you do, with the same upgrades.
