Stainless Trim on '72 Pedals?
Ok, I know this is pretty nit picky and I'm really not an NCRS stickler even though I am a member.
Are the brake and clutch pedals on a 1972 supposed to have the stainless trim pieces or not?

I like them and think they set off the floor, and give the interior the 70's look back in the days when trim was in.

The SS trim was part of the deluxe interior option. From 68-72 there was gas pedal SS trim. Then from 68-79 there was SS trim on the brake or clutch pedal. Things change - I have a '70 with standard interior and it has the SS trim on the brake pedal and gas pedal. My '75 with deluxe interior has the SS trim on the brake pedal only. They key here is deluxe or standard interior but, who knows what mods were really made.

The pedal trim is one of those things that could easily have been installed incorrectly at the factory. I can envision the "pedal guy" putting trim on all of the pedals just so he didn't have to look at the build sheet.

Exactly the "pedal guy" could have done it, or if you don't have it they could have run out of stock that day (seriously from what I have heard/read things were added/deleted as the assembly line went along - a good example is my "late" June 1975 has the drain tubes in the back of the car but nothing else as astro ventilation was phased out in late '75.

By the way, the gas pedal trim piece you got was for a 1968-71.
