Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
I am planning on installing the molded plastic kick panel speaker surrounds on my 72 and decided to do a mock up today for fit and finish. The passenger side is good to go. The drivers side is good aesthetically, but there are some definite fitment issues particularly regarding the parking brake assembly. I am kinda stumped on where to start approaching how to rectify this and am turning to y'all for some help.

Re: Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
I just grabbed my pedal and pulled it away from the speaker a little...

Re: Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
Welcome to the board.
Ya, I remember reading a thread or two on this a few years back. I think most ended up just tweaking the pedal arm in board a bit to clear the speaker. Use the search function and check in the audio section of the forum. Good luck.

Re: Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
I did the same just pull it over enough to clear the speaker, needs to slightly bend the arm. The problem I have is I can't get my big foot on the dimmer switch so I never use the brights.

Re: Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
i'd move the dimmer switch so you can use it// only a couple of screws and there's plenty of slck in the wires

Re: Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
I thought about that but the carpet had a premade hole for it and I didn't want to have to deal with it. I don't drive the truck that much at night anyway.

Re: Parking Brake Clearance w/ kick panel speakers
Thanks for the responses! I kinda thought about just pulling on it but wanted to ask around first. As for my dimmer switch, I planned on relocating it from the get go. No way I'd get my big feet under there.
