Clutch question

My 1961 F100, 223 six and three on the tree is suppose to have a new clutch pack in it but, I get a pretty good shake unless I release the clutch quickly when taking off. Slow moves like pulling into the garage where just slipping the clutch enough to get it rolling is nothing but shaking, as well as backing out. After it gets going shifting into 2nd and 3rd are smooth. I have read on here about a vacuum issue could be part of the problem. I have one vacuum line from the carb to the distributer on this truck. Any insight would be appreciated.

Check your engine and trans rubber mounts. If they are old and weak, it could be part of the problem, More likely low quality offshore clutch parts were used.......

Rusted out cab mounts can cause that.
