Re: 1953 project truck flywheel/clutch match?
This pic shows a 54 235 flywheel on the left and a 49 216 flywheel on the right.
Notice the difference in clutch plate contact surface and how far out the pressure plate bolt holes are on the 235.
The 235 takes a 10" clutch assembly and the 216 takes a 9".
ON the 235 flywheel the BB is 2 degrees ATDC (to the left of the UC mark). On the 216 it's 5 degrees BTDC ( to the right of the UC mark).
Your 53 flywheel may resemble one or the other.
Perhaps this is helpful.
