You may have seen my frame thread, I am pulling the money together to buy a 1947 Ford F-3 Panel Van. I am going to stick with the original front suspension and brakes and z the frame to lower it. For the rear I need to find a slightly more modern rear and and z the frame back there as well.
For the engine I am picking up a slant 6 with a 4-speed on it. It's a 3 speed with overdrive to be exact. I know, some people think it's horrible to put a Dodge engine in a Ford, but it's a quirky engine I haven't seen much. It's got an aluminum intake on it with dual 1 barrel carbs.... it's kinda cool.
Anywho, I am so new to building a rat rod that I have some questions that may sound stupid.
Working with a manual transmission now, where is the best place to source out a pedal assembly? Is there a popular vehicle to grab these from? And should the pedal assembly be a Dodge to match the trans or is that not needed?
And I have only worked on more modern hydraulic clutch systems. How does the clutch pedal connect to the trans on this set up? Is it a cable that I can make or is it some sort of linkage?
I know the questions may sound dumb, but I am collecting parts and need to know what I need to find.
Thanks in advance for the help.
