Does the 1931 model A car have the same clutch and pressure plate as the AA Truck

Actually no. The car clutch will work in the truck, but originally the truck had a larger diameter disc and stronger springs in the pressure plate. I opted to have my original disc and pressure plate restored to factory specifications so I would again have the heavier duty clutch as Henry designed.
H&R Clutch in Bensalem, PA did the clutch work and I had my fly wheel and clutch assembly balanced on the crank at a local machine shop. So far very pleased with results.
