Hanging pedals

What year jeep hanging pedals are best/easiest for an early CJ pedal conversion? I've seen on eBay one set that has one pedal on each side of the steering and another set with both on the LH side. Which way do I go? I have a '67 CJ5.
Thanks.

 

Are you going Swing Pedals for Power Brakes or Hydro Clutch?
All the later Jeep pedals will normally have to be shortened to get enough travel in an early cj5 as yours.............They hit the slanted firewall off the floor to early. While some install those pedals so that both are to the left of the column , others take and split the pedals on either side. You can also take the original 16 inch + long pedal and re-bend the pedal so that the foot pads come out close to the same location as the original floor pedals while not cutting anything from its original length. There are also some other aftermarket pedals out there although I like using the Jeep pedals as they set up the Master Cylinder and or Power Booster at the correct ratio's as long as the set you get was for that purpose.
Lots of thought and some fabrication skills are necessary , think your project out before you start. There should be plenty of installs on the build forums contained here.

 

i used pedals from a YJ. it took some modifying to get them to work. had to shorted the pedal length and lowered the master cyl and push rod mounting locations down 1". if i did it again i would look in XJ pedals since they look to be a little shorter.

 

I would think you could transplant the complete column and pedals from a '72-75 CJ and they would fit fine. The seating location is different between the two, but that should not affect pedal operation.

 

Thank you for the info!

 

I kept my stock clutch pedal and AA adapter but used the pedal assembly from the Cherokee I took the booster out of.

 

I used the intermediate (72-75) pedals and column. I kept the manual brakes, but upgraded the front to dana 30 with discs. I also used the stock mechanical clutch linkage from the intermediate. All worked well and pretty easy to install.

 

This is what I used, it work and I had it lying around.
Firewall plate from a 75 CJ5 for ease of brake/clutch MC placement(yellow plate)
Brake/clutch MC, proportioning valve, pedals and mounts came off a 81 CJ8 with a 4cyl.
I did have to heat and bend the pedals so they would have full movement because of floor issue.
I don't have the stock column but it's close to the correct spot on the floor.
It has the correct dash and I'm using the column mount.
I don't have a pic of the pedals straight on

 

I am dealing with a similar issue. I am putting a tilt column in a CJ6. I looked at late CJ pedals that come with the column. Did not fit the tub and as noted, the pedals are all wrong. So I'm adapting an intermediate set to a late tilt column. To me, this seemed the easiest. I don't have to mess with the pedals and all I have to do is fab up a way to mount the column. When I'm done, I'll take picts.

 

I have an 99 Ford Ranger master cylinder with power brake boost squeezed next to a wilwood clutch pedal and cylinder. Havent driven it yet but it fit well.

 

I used a pedal assembly from a Mazda B220. I converted to a hydrolic clutch using the Mazda master and a Toyota slave cylinder. I used a Nissan brake booster and a brake master from a 71 Jeep.
Point is there are a lot of ways to do what you want if you have the parts available and a creative mind.
