Re: re: '67-only power brake setups [LARGE PICS]
That's a point not mentioned. The brake light switch system is different from the '67 and the '68 and up. The '67 uses the car style switch mounted on the pin holding the rod to the pedal. The '68 and up use a plunger switch on the pedal with a stop bracket on the pivot assembly.roachrider wrote:Anyway, I currently have the '71 pedal swapped into the '67 bracket. It ends in exact the same place as the '67 pedal I had on before. While the pedals do curve differently, they end up in the same place. The only significant different is the brake light switch.
If you put a '68 and up pedal in the '67 pivot assembly, there's no stop bracket to push in the plunger on the brake light switch. I can't remember if that bracket is bolted or welded on.

Hey Springville! I'm near St.Greorge. Central to be more exact. 17 miles nort west of St.George on Hwy 18. I've worked at a place down here for 12 years that maintains our headquarters in springville. RedCliff Ascent ( wilderness program for youth at risk) It's in that old Jefferson School building at the south end of town.
Glad to know someone in the neighborhood.

Nice I just moved here from Diamond Valley. I lived there for about three years. I plan on living there again soon. I am currently learning to be a pilot up here. Which town do you live in? I love the St. George area.

So are you in Enteprise? I bought a white truck topper from a youth program up there a few years ago.

Well what a small world it is...So I've met you it would seem.
I used to work in enterprise...and I remember a couple of people coming by our youth program to look at a white truck topper that we had for sale around the back side of the building. My self or only one other guy would have shown it to you. Hope it has served you well.
Hope you can get back down here soon...you know how nice the winters are.
I have a couple of buddies that have become pilots in the last few years...great gig. One of them is flying tours over the Grandcanyon. I used to fly Ultralights with my father. Great times....and now with the advent of the the "Sport License" I'm thinking of getting my wings.
Good luck with all that...you about through?
I want to see If I can fix a pair of Cessna 175 wings onto my 67 F250. Think It would fly?

re: '67-only power brake setups [LARGE PICS]
Is the bracket holding the booster to the firewall the same for all years or is this another unique to 67 and everything else item also?
