Clutch Brand Recommendation?

Hi Everyone:
My name is Radio and I own a 1993 Ford F350 LWB, 460 gasser, 4DR, 4WD
with a 104,000 miles. I use it to carry my Truck Camper and pull a small trailer with my Honda Silverwing. I'm in the process of doing some maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. I would like to replace the clutch which is original. Is there a brand that is better or heavier duty? Most work is being done by my local mechanic.
Thanks. This is a great site!
Radio

Luk is an OEM manufacturer for almost every make, they make clutches for just about anything, and they're reasonably priced. There really aren't that many companies that actually manufacture clutches. Just about everything out there is made by one of 3-4 companies.

+1 for LUK. That's the only brand I will use after some failures on other brands.

I've had good luck with Zoom's 30000 series clutch kits. I can't comment on the longevity of them, but thats all I have ever used in my trail rigs.

When I swapped my ZF5 in my '81 I used a "Power Torque" clutch kit from O'Reillys and was very dissapointed. Very little grab from the clutch.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry about being a little late in replying but holiday work schedule was tough.
