I have a four speed pedal set-up from a 69 Roadrunner and I've seen ads for 1970 Pedals being for that year only! Whats the diffrence? Will a 69 set-up fit in a 1970 Roadrunner?
Can someone explain the diffrence.
Im thinking about making my new project a four speed car but Im trying to use up parts laying around from other cars I've had or parted out. This is my 1st 1970 car, everything else I've ever had has been 1969. Thanks for the help!

I've never seen 68-70 B Body pedals broken down to specific year applications regarding 4 spd set ups?, I have "69" pedals from a Roadrunner in my 70 Charger,...no issues, bolted in...I know there may be some issues with the brake rod attachment hardware regarding bore sizes, depending on what type of pedal rod your using, or booster set up, but that can be an issue just swapping brake set ups in that require a different booster/pedal rod, or intermediate linkage,...often solved with a bushing, or dilling/tapping to a larger screw stud assy/etc. etc, ...worst case senario, weld the hole shut, and drill/tap the require thread to reuse your old hardware.

Well I've went and started my four speed conversion and have the 69 runner pedals all painted up and ready to install in my 70 runner but they sure dont appear that they will just bolt up.....the bracket that the steering column bolts to appears to be welded to the lower windshield frame and contains the same part the four speed pedals have to bolt the steering column in. Anyone have a picture of a 1970 four speed pedal set-up?

Good luck with your conversion i did mine over two years ago & i just converted back to a automatic i am just more of a auto person. The picture i posted of that pedal came out of a 70 super bee that the safty switch a friend of mine we traded all or parts he got my 4-speed stuff i got his killer 727 & stall and more i got those pedals for him to go in his 70 coronet he has my old ones in killer shape only missing that switch he may sell them if you are in need of some..

is your issue with the "bracket" that contains the pedals and spans/bolts to the master/booster/and steering column?...if so, just transfer the pedals, and the side bracket that holds the clutch pedal over to your existing "auto" bracket, perhaps you have 66-7 B body pedals?...if you could post a pic, that will help us, help you
Mike
do your pedals look like this?

Yes, my problem is with the bracket that houses the pedals. my housing has the same shape as the welded bracket that I showed a picture of...even has the two threaded studs that stick down to bolt the column bracket to.
I'm not home now so I don't have any pictures of what I have. If I can transfer the pedals over then great!!
You can transfer all the pedals/pins/nuts/etc and side bracket, even if you have 66-67 B body pedals (as the main frame bracket is different in 66-7)...what 4 spd are you using 68-9?, or 70 B/E? as there is a tailshaft/mount difference?...when you get chance you should post pics of the pedals for ID

just got home and took some pictures. this is the housing that I have.... it doesn't look like the ones that you have pictured for me. these were supposed to have been out of a 69 Coronet RT.
