Bam,
I used a similar set up but had serious problems with the pedal not lining up properly with the hole in the cab floor.
Once I put the cab on I had to cut the pedal arm down and reshape the arc so it would work properly. Let me know if you run into the same thing.

The good thing is its only tack welded in place (the pedal that is) because I wanted to be able to move it, if need be once the cab is on the frame. Also I welded up all holes on the cab floor and drilled a small hole where the pedal use to be for a reference. I don't need it exact but I do want it very close to where the original pedal was. Thanks for letting me know about the reshape of the arc, if I need to do that I will be sure to let you know. Headache comes with the territory when you customize and god knows I've had a lot of headaches.lol |

I got the frame repainted.
Here is the push rod connection to the brake pedal I had to fab up the mount for the brake pedal. Last edited by BAM55 on Wed Apr 29, 2015 9:41 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Were your ears ringing today?
Owner of the 55 I'm working on came over to discuss his project. I told him about your build and how meticulous you are. Great work on the brake set up and frame. 1968 Coronet R/T

Bam, just read through all your work on your truck, and it is fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to post all the amazing pictures.
|
Thanks man, as soon as I have something of note to post I will be sure to updated the thread. Thanks for the kind words buddy. |

Bam, I've really enjoyed following your progress. Outstanding work!
I absolutely love the color you picked out. What is the brand/code if you don't mind my asking? I think that color would be perfect on my '60 Falcon Wagon project. |

Thanks man, I really appreciate the comments. As far as the brand of paint it is Nason Basecoat and Clear. The code I don't have right now but I can check the label when I get home. The color? I got it off a new scion. |

Thanks, it must be "Scion Envy Green". Can't wait to see more progress. Keep up the marvelous work!
