[blohmiller]

For people who have upgraded ther MC and pedals whe year and make did you get you brake pedale from?

Since I'm going to put a V8 in my '48 I need to locate swing pedals to replace my floor set any ideas?

What engine are you installing, what are you using for engine mounts. I have a 318 that is either going in a P15 or a B1D maybe both if the money stretches far enough . I am still in the planning stage so have not looked at a brake set up on the truck I know I can get a dual master and discs for the P15.

I have access to an '83 Dodge Diplomat cop car with a 318. I'm going to get the whole front K member, Engine,Trans. and Rear end. The motor mounts are attached to the K member so every thing should fit. I just need to remeasure the rear end some more but a quick measurement showed it to be real close to fitting. I'm just lost on the break pedal setup

Bryan,

I put a poly 318 in my 52 B3FA and hung a set of brake/clutch pedals from an 87 Jeep Comanche P/U. I used the original M/C from the truck but had to fab a mount on the firewall. The pics should give a fair idea what it looks like.

I like how you mounted your extra gauges where the speakers used to be.

The extra knob on the shifter...Is that for a 2-speed rear axle?

[anthonyb]

Actually, the gauges on the left are mounted where the original gauges were installed and the two on the right were set into what was a blank panel. The clock on the upper right is where the speaker was.

Yes, the red handle on the shifter is for the two-speed rear axle.

Hi Blohmiller, I don't know the brand name of my brake pedal, master cylinder set up, but I got it out of the Summit catalog. The master cylinder is a dual with a booster, and mounts under the floor board where the stock one was. I can find the brand name for you if you can't find it in the Summit catalog. Tony C

Nice dash, where did you get the clock? Does a radio go into the rectangular space to the left of the steering wheel post? I also like the color, what exactly is it, gray or blue or ______? :confused:

[anthonyb]

The clock is a fabrication from the lid of a TurtleWax can and a battery operated mechanism from Hobby Lobby. The hole on the left side of the dash was there when I got the truck. Just haven't gotten around to deciding what type sound system to fill it with.

The dash color is Rustoleum hammer finish bronze. Looks very gray to me! I just got lazy and didn't prep the dash like I should have.
