Rocky,
My 1962 B182a's lineset calls out a 13" clutch between the 345 engine 
and T-35 direct-fifth transmission.  The GVWR on this truck is 
23,500.  It was shipped to the NC Dept of Forestry.  My 1960 B184a 
has a 12" 15-spring clutch mating the 345 to the non-synchro T-31 
direct-fifth 5-speed (24k GVWR).  They both have the FA-65 front and 
RA-146 two-speed rear axle.
Hope that tidbit helps!
