So...
Last week I did plenty of researching on clutches that will work on the '52. I came up with a chevy clutch part# BBD3425. I also took two of the shift rods out, due to cotter pins being broken off inside of them. Drilled the old pins out and primed the rods, then coated with a matte clear. Also did an old trick Ross suggested to me, to accommodate my budget. Drilled a small hole in the side of my throw out bearing and packed it with grease,then epoxied the hole.
Today I ordered a new pressure plate from Speedway Motors item# 91015657. Both items look like they will show up on Wednesday, so work will likely begin on Thursday.
