1969 K10 clutch options

Looking for advice on a clutch kit. I currently have a SACHS 12" kit in the truck and the pedal is very heavy ( wife has an issue driving the truck ). Just wondering if anyone had experience with an aftermarket kit that would reduce pedal effort. The truck has a new small block in it with the SM465 trans and doesn't get abused so I am not concerned about maximum holding power.

3 finger or diaphragm clutch??. Diaphragm clutches are easier with the same clamping pressure. If she is having problems with the diaphragm, you may have to go hydraulic

Re: 1969 K10 clutch options

I used a LUK 12” kit from Napa in my K20. Couldn’t be happier with it. It’s supposed to be the same as the stock clutch. I’ve got a hydraulic setup in my truck so it’s got a light pedal but I don’t see why it would be heavier than a stock clutch with a mechanical setup.
