I have a CV front end on mine, I don't think you can fit 15" wheels over the discs of the CV

I have seen it done by using a spacer and real narrow wheels but I'm trying to avoid that. Recently someone told me there may be a way to put Mustang Cobra calipers on and that would give the clearance but I haven't looked into it.

Thank you for sharing this AWESOME build. Keep this thing away from me though, it's going to make my work look like poo and hurt my self-esteem.

Keep up the incredible work.

Not yet. Anyone want to sell me the brake pedal trim?

Their brake pedal trim? Lmc doesn't even know that Ford made them originally and subsequently, it doesn't look anything like the original. To mention them again is meaningless.

Not sure why everyone keeps recommending this. It's not the same. Doesn't even look the same.

My apologies for mentioning that company. I've been searching the web and locally and that was all I could come up with.
Is there a difference in pedal pads/trim between power and manual as in other years?
There's an old guy with a 77 4x4 I was going to look at on Thursday....hes pretty sure it has the trim and thinks it's non-power brakes.....is this something that might work for you?

I don't own a dent side, nor do I know what the pedal trim looks like. Was just trying to help you out. Forget I said anything.

I appreciate it. ...though it's annoying when we are criticized for buying superior US made parts (LED HEADLIGHTS) and then suggested to buy Chinese trash (LMC). We've seen the LMC garbage. It's nothing compared to the original trim. Barley resembles it. Like everything from LMC. No thanks.
