Looking to convert a '65 Belvedere to a 4 speed. What year clutch pedal will work? Can you keep the automatic pedal box, cut the brake pedal pad down and add a clutch pedal or do you need the whole pedal assembly?

Easiest just to change out the whole assembly.

Whats up So Cal neighbor - easier to swap the whole pedal assembly... It's unlikely you'll find just a clutch pedal anyway... I've only ever found the complete assemblies here and there. I believe 1963-1965 B-Body will all work for your 1965. I am swapping my 64 Polara to a 4-speed myself.

When you change you'll need to drill a few holes. I assume you haven't done it before? They are marks on firewall that look like pointed punch marks. I was glad to see those, think there are 2.

I have 1965 Coronet. I chanced the whole assembly from 62 Dart. Two holes needed to drill. Was a very easy clean work. So 62 pedals will match too...

What is the difference between power brake and manual brake pedals? I am doing a 5 speed swap (originally an auto floor shift car) and I will be adding power brakes as well.

Gonna try to source a set of pedals at some point but not sure if I need the manual brake or power brake pedals.....

Thanks

Brake pedals are the same. Use the top hole in the lever for manual brakes, bottom hole for power brakes. The firewall master cylinder plate is different for manual and power brakes, it matches the spacing for the hole in the lever. If I remember right.
