1979 international 1824 dump truck

In need of a new clutch and pressure plate for the dump truck; however, can't find anyone who sells one. I didn't want to take the one in it out yet as it still works. Anyone know who makes and sells a replacement. Gas engine mv446. 5 speed trans. 2 speed rear axle

    A clutch and brake shop could likely reline the one you have. It's probably a common clutch.

    I don't know about internationals specifically, but it was common for medium duty trucks to have a build sticker with all the optional part numbers listed. You'd look there to see the axle type or brake parts. This is not the kind of thing you'll find easily listed online, maybe you'll find the numbers looking around on International sites, or maybe you'll have to call or email some places that deal in old parts. Not saying the new parts places can't find it, but you won't find it listed on their site, and the kid at the counter probably can't help you, you'll need to find "the guy". Or you can risk it and take it out then match up what you find. I'd be 99% sure you could get one reasonably without haveing to have the old one relined.

    Thank you gentlemen for the advice. It seems finding a new or rebuilt pressure plate might be a bit more of a chore.

    OLD MV's and VS engines I saw had Rockford multi spring push clutches in them. Had a supplier in Plaza Fleet Parts but heard they had long since gone out.. Last one was single plate four finger pressure plate, similar to yours?
