The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 3 to 4-spd swap, how to mount pedals, e-brake???

I have a 45 GMC 1/2 ton P/U with a 302 straight six and an SM-420 4-speed. The pedal cluster originally mounted directly the the drivers side 3-spd. The emergency brake mounted on the passenger side of the 3-spd. With the SM-420, there is no mounts available. What options are available to keep the original look, and under the floor mount assembly? Of couse, I also want to upgrade to a duel master cyclinder, but have that worked out. Are there off the shelf custome brackets available, anyone run into that that can send me some pics to help me resolve this?

Thanks

'Morning, F1. Hope you're well. I think I remember Tony Pascarella posting some pix awhile ago of a somewhat similar(?) mod on Joy's '51. Something to do with pedals attached to a different bellhousing. Or maybe it was his '37...can't remember for sure. You might want to try sending him a pm or an email. Shouldn't be too hard to do, you'll likely just end up making some mounting plates out of steel plate and tubing to bolt up to your new bellhousing. Hope this helps, best of luck.

jim carter's classic truck sells a bellhousing that may solve your problem. it's an early style bellhousing with the pedal mount that accepts later transmissions. here's a link to the catalog page:
