i hope he doesn't get a ticket for not having any headlights :police:

In the video it appears that the engine has a jackshaft mounted underneath with the (original?) flywheel mounted at the rear, and I'm assuming the original clutch behind that. The jackshaft is belt driven by the engine. So the normal clutch would work.
You need to be sure the bearings on the jackshaft can handle the force of the through-out bearing when the clutch pedal is pressed.

How about one of these, Glort?

Hey glort,
Let's get it to Hawaii and I'll leave it in my will to you. Really.

Back to that original video....
There is no clutch !
A clutch mounts on a automotive engine flywheel.
I can only guess that the user must push the vehicle a bit and then pull it into 1st. gear....then jump in.
I'm not aware of any type of clutch that could fit on the end of that jackshaft just before the transmission. ???
Cheers,

The original flywheel & bell housing look to be present, so the clutch is probably still there, on the other side. Yeah, the bearings in the pulley on the jackshaft would need to be pretty bloody sturdy, as they have to resist the push of the throw-out bearing as Thob says.
Alternatively, the 'box might be automatic, but I don't see a fluid flywheel...

I agree with Glort. looks like a stock flywheel with a pressure plate mounted to it. The clutch pedal does look to be in the correct position.

Here's another one, in a rather tidier looking truck... has a test drive too!

Just goes to show how versatile these little horizontal single-bangers are...

At about 1:07 you can see the flywheel. Looks in the right position so I would say the thing has the original clutch.
Earlier in the vid you can see the manual shift lever and the clutch pedal which looks the right height.
Ah ! yes....I see that now. Good eye !

You know, rednecks are all over the world, and I don't think it's a bad thing at all!
On the clutch thing, you could remove half of the springs in the pressure plate and still have more than enough clutch for the horsepower.
Cuts way down on the thrust pressure. My 69 International cub loboy has the clutch and pressure plate mounted on the tranny, driven from the engine mounted flywheel via a driveshaft, and only 3 one inch or so coil springs in the pressure plate. Oh and the clutch disk is about 6 inches in diameter.
