1962 Impala Clutch pedal into 1960

[bschulze]

Will the clutch pedal and its mechanism from a full size 1962 directly bolt into a 1960? I want to convert from a power glide to a 4-speed and go from 283 to 348. Any comments? thank you. Bob

i guess you could make anything work but the answer to your question is NO. find a complete set-up out of a 59 or 60. it will save you alot of headaches down the road.

Oh Ya!

It's even the SS model. Good starting price though.

While the housing shape is different, have you checked to see if the pedals will fit into your orig housing?

I went thru this awhile back for my 60 and No only a 59 and 60 will work. Find a good set with all of the rods and stuff and it's easy to do.
61 up are totaly different as is 58 and down......

61-62 are different

I tried as best I could to fit up a 1961 pedal setup into my 1962, and the result is less than satisfactory. Cecil will confirm that the pedal has a "hitch" in it and is weird to drive. I did get what I believe to be a 1962 setup that I will swap out and see if that improves the pedal travel.

As mentioned, I'd stick with what was stock for that year, in your case 1959-60.

Good luck!
