Ok....so is it just me?

not sure of the trucks but on the cars you have the option of tall pedal position or wide pedal position by loosening the nut and rotating the pedal pads..

no re-positioning on the trucks

My truck has a bendix starter I'm not sure what its from but I could pull it and take some pics. Maybe someone could identify it if your interested in looking for one. All they did was add a ford starter solenoid to the fender with a push button.

I would think that if you got a starter from a late 40's - early 50's Plymouth or Dodge car it should bolt up and work as you want. I believe there was a tooth count change on the ring gear somewhere in the early to mid 50's so you need to be cautious of that.

I kinda remember looking at this when I first started working on my project. Seems to me there was something about it that made it a pita. Either the tooth count or interference... or 12V versus 6V.  I think I will just work on getting my foot better educated.

Jeff,

 

If you are tired of wrenching and want to simplify matters..

I believe the pedal elevation is the same no matter how the pads are mounted.

The pedal pads on the trucks are integral to the levers. There is no way to change their orientation without cuting them off and rewelding them.

center stays the same but the oval on a left to right is less in height that than vertical position..

I have done that also in the past based on the build...

Jeff if you want a 6v starter anything 55 and older from a plymouth car should do you well. You could do a p15 style setup with a push button start or just convert to a key start.

I am sure I can get my foot used to this arrangement. I am thinking it might get a bit bothersome in stop and go LA traffic though.

Just one more reason to get the flock out of here...........................
