bigger clutch = more square inches of contact between plate and flywheel
= longer life of clutch

Today I was rebuilding the clutch on my 1959 3/4 ton Chevy Apache with
235 .  I was surprised to find that the disc and pressure plate were 11
inch.  The service manual for '59 shows all 1/2, 3/4, and 1 ton trucks
take a 10 inch.  Could you custom order an 11 inch clutch back then and
if so what would be the reason for doing so?
