I FINALLY found this image that shows why the '39 clutch arm is angled off to the left. This is a '39 pedal set in the picture BELOW. Below is a comparison of all the different clutch arms. You can see why the height & angles can make a difference. DD |

This second picture BELOW also shows the UPPER, REAR bolt in bracket to be just below the same, beveled recess for the counter-sunk stay rod bolt on TOP of this chassis rail. DD |

Re: 39 pedals in a 36 frame
The bottom photo is my '38 1/2T pickup. I used the Bob Drake template for the location of the '39 pedals. Everything lined up perfectly except the clutch shaft arm. I ended up just making a longer clutch shaft that located the stock clutch arm inline with the clevis on the clutch pedal.

Re: 39 pedals in a 36 frame
Late to the party here, but wanted to thank everyone for the
additional info. ("Fine print"), and great D/D/'s closeups of Peter's beautiful '35 chassis, (LOVE that car!). When I started to mock up this same combo. in my '36 a few years back, I could see it was not going to be the "bolt-in" swap some had mentioned. Now I can see the pedal holes in the Carpenter toe boards are probably not going to align either. Just another little glitch in getting the puzzle pieces to all fit together! |

He has a business and makes kits for changing over to hydraulic brakes. A friend installed one on a 1935 Ford, quite nice- and no mods to the car at all. The business name may be The V8 Garage (corrections most welcome). Karl |

Re: 39 pedals in a 36 frame
I still have lots to do but it is now a roller. Next thing I will do is install the Vern Tardel rear drum retainers and run my brake lines.
After that I will get the body on the rotisserie and clean the underneath and ready the underside for paint. |

Re: 39 pedals in a 36 frame
I made a bit more headway running the brake lines. I had to order some fittings from third GEN. I fabricated two brackets to hold the hose ends to the frame and was able to drill a hole through the inner fenders. I had lots of gravel guard left over so I use some on the brake lines next to the master cylinder.

Re: 39 pedals in a 36 frame
Lindsay, is that the stoplight pressure switch in the front brake circuit? If you lose pressure to the front brakes, you will also lose the signal for your brake lights. You might consider a mechanical brake light switch rather than a pressure switch.

TINKER ....As I originally said, the Ford pedals with an I-beam cross section are "CAST"-iron. As far as "running you down"....I COULD say that you make it easy to do when you continually get your information from WHO KNOWS WHERE, but I am here with hopes of sharing REAL information with those interested in hearing such. Check this little quote from "DavidG" just 15 months ago about "cast-iron" Ford pedals. PLEASE click the link BELOW. DD https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showp...1&postcount=18 . |

Re: 39 pedals in a 36 frame
Yes, I’ll probably leave it in the plumbing. I can’t hook,up a mechanical one until the body is back on.

My brake pedal is forged and the clutch is cast.
