Pedals for T56 swap good?
Here is a picture of what i got. I pulled off what appears to be the cruise control engagements from a T5 car at the yard. I have the neutral safety switch and the other 2. Is this all i need to have these pedals work correctly with my T56 with cruise? There is one other hole for another switch on the brake pedal whats that for? Also i have cruise control now on my car so if i do need anything from my auto pedals i can just use those? Just let me know if im good to go...
Also any change anyone knows what the reverse light pigtail part # is for a T56? I need to get one and im having trouble finding it.
1 more week and it all goes in

Thirdgen pedals work fine with a T-56, except that they move the push rod a little too much. You end up with the whole clutch travel up toward the top, and it's somewhat stiff. Not unuseable, but not quite perfect either. That's what I've got, and it works fine, although if the push rod stud on the pedal was moved up toward the pivot about ¾" or so, it would be better.

Looks like it... you got the cruise switches on both the clutch and brake, and the brake light switch (the one with the hacked-up wire) on the brake... looks like you're good to go.
I'm thinking for some reason that my T-5 BU light wire just plugged into the T-56 switch.... I could be wrong though, it's been a couple of years. Go to the junkyard and get a pigtail off of a T-5 car or truck (doesn't HAVE TO be a thirdgen) and see if it looks like what you need.

I couldn't say for sure about "better", because I've never used them myself; but others say they bolt right in and of course they're the match to the hydraulics, so I guess they might be. The 3rd gen ones aren't "bad" or anything, They work fine, you can just tell that they could be a little bit better than they are.
