It's a freak thing, must be two like metals used on both the input
shaft sleeve and the throw out bearing's sliding surface that cause them
to gall, exaggerated by a not fully released bearing holding it in a
cocked position so as to cause a notch wearing vibration.

Look what I found :

http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/convtrans/fordt18/

and it says :

The Jeep T-150, T-18, T-176, SR-4, T-4, and T-5 all use a 1 1/8" 10
spline input shaft and the Ford T-18 uses a 1 1/16" 10 spline input
shaft. Your old clutch disk will not fit snuggly on the Ford input
shaft, so you will need to purchase a new disk. The disk can be a
regular 10 1/2" Ford disk (or 11" if you have an 11" clutch). The
Centerforce clutch disk #384180 is a 10 1/2" clutch that will fit the
Ford transmission.

So does that mean that a standard 79 CJ clutch won't work ?

The standard '79 jeep clutch does work - unlike the '81+ model years, the '79
uses a 1 1/16" 10 spline input shaft. The later models have a 1 1/8" 10 spline
input shaft.
