Clutch issues
The F3 is stripped now and I'm in parts buying mode. While it was a driver though it had a strange clutch problem. It started in neutral fine and idled sweet (although smoky). Step on the clutch though and the engine dropped probably 100 revs and loaded up and a strange knocking came from the bellhousing. I pulled the box and everything looked fine, throw out bearing turned no worries, plate looked good as did pressure plate. In fact it all looks fairly new. Truck was a good driver before being stuck in a shed 25 odd years ago. Any suggestions?

Yes, it is still the original flathead and 4 speed box. I did adjust the fingers but it made no difference. Didn't think of the thrust bearing, the engine is being rebuilt anyway due to low compression.
