Re: 69 2500hd 8.1

Got a lot of work done this weekend, still got more to do.

Just setting on there now, had to notch out the rear of the cab a bit to fit around the frame.




Started on the pedals expecting it to be awful, ended up finishing them all in about 6 hours. Super happy with how it worked out, I ended up using the stock 69 brake pedal and making an extension for it. The gas pedal just took some witch craft, and needs a bit of side to side bracing.

On that brake pedal extension, I would add a piece to the top and bottom where it is bolted to the strut rod. Basically making a "c" around it. It would be really bad to have that thing pivot in a panic stop.
