what size clutch?

I have an 80 F150, Inline 6 , 3 speed with over drive. My clutch is going out and I don't know how to tell if I have a 10 or 11 inch clutch. Is there a special trick like counting bolts? I am sure this has been asked before but I havent been able to find any info. Thanks

There's no way to know, as it could be 10 or 11 inches.

Can't you just buy the 11" clutch and pressure plate and install it either way?

Many 10" flywheels are drilled for the 11" clutch. Both my sixes have been.

Thanks

Got it all taken apart and put back together, it was a 10 inch and gave us very little trouble so far.
