Automatic/manual pedal assembly difference
Ok hopefully this is an easy conversion for my sake but I currently have a 71 auto truck and am converting it to manual does anyone know what is involved changing the pedal assembly over?

No change. The pivot bar for the automatic brake pedal needs removed(snap rings on the end) and the clutch pedal/rod slipped through. Likely need to drop the pedal assembly down to get the clutch pedal rod installed. It's been a couple decades since I've done one. Not hard to do.
Once the clutch pedal is in, the arm bolts on and you install the drop rod through the floor(need to remove the cover plate in floor). Install pivot ball on engine and frame bracket.

Can't say if the later pedal is the same as '67-72? We need Bill(number dummy) to let us know that answer.
Do you have the whole pedal assembly? You could try to match it up and see if it is similar. Might be very close and work well enough.

Awesome I’ll keep you in mind. I’m outta state at the moment but as soon as I get home I’m going to get the Body swap done and start switching everything over.
