That's an awesome question and i don't have the answer! But i'd like to know also, NumberDummy will save the day though. I'm putting on power brakes in the spring so i don't need both feet. Gotta deliver a load of bark tomorrow on a steep hill and i'm not looking foreward to it.

.....1973.....
Guess how many different brake pedals were used 1973/79?
Did you say TWENTY TWO?
BINGO!
If you use the M/C and booster off a 1973/79, you must use the brake pedal and bracket the truck came with, you got the parts from.
1967 F100/350's used one brake pedal, 1968/72's used one brake pedal. These two pedals are the same A/T, M/T.
That is not the case with 1973/79's, and there were SEVEN different clutch pedals used '73/79.

With a little modification, like drilling a hole they can be mixed and matched. I still have the original 3 spd brake pedal with added C6 tranny and power brake setup from a 76 donor in my 66, and have helped with many others.

I should have said that from 1973/79, you need the correct brake pedal (and clutch pedal if applicable) from the donor truck the M/C & booster came from, when adding power disc brakes.

In this forum, one must be specific when responding to Bill or Bill Wilson, cuz there's TWO of us!
Bill W & the Big Dummy.
Dave: Post #6 = I admitted to jowilker (mark the day down on a calender!) that I erred when I said that about the later pedals fitting 1961/72's.
It's 1973/79's that take specific pedals.
