stomp peddle bolt into my 55 which has a 66
283 and original 4 speed? Any and all input will be helpful!

Some people do that when installing a 230/250/292 engine in place of an earlier 6 cylinder engine.

AS I have figured out, the cab (by door plate) is 58-59, and has hole for stomp peddle. Fender emblems,3200 are long box and it is definatly a short box frame. V-8 emblems may or may not have beed added. There for the confusion, about the starter peddle set up. Did not know about starter peddle - V-8 not going together.
