Pedals

Post by Cody Winters » Mon Sep 15, 2025 8:59 pm

The 25 fordor i'm looking at has a 25 style rear axle with a Ruckstell and the engine number is that of a 25, but it has wide 26-27 pedals. when exactly in production did they phase in the wide pedals? they aren't slip on pedal accessories, they definitely are part of the pedal stalk. and the engine displays all the characteristics of a 25. if you can't make out the number on the block it's 12372515

With the bolted trans. cover to the block indicates a late '25 & would have the wide brake drum & associated wide pedals.

You didn't mention the VIN on the title if it matched or not. Its possible that this was a replacement engine and stamped with the original engine. I does look like the engine has the pigs ears on the transmission housing bolted to the block Then there's the possibility of confusion about the production of engines in those months.
