Default 74 (& up?) Adjustable Pedals

I'm trying to determine a little more about the adjustable brake/gas pedal option. I recently acquired a set from a fellow PY'er and am planning to install them on my 74 Bonneville so my 5'2" wife can drive without putting my knees into the dashboard.

I have the factory brochure on them, and the writing seems to allude to the fact that 74 was the first year these were available on all the B body platforms. I have seen an old thread where someone has a 75 with the pedals as well, so we have at least a two year production availability on them.

They are a very elegant design utilizing worm gears and (essentially) a speedometer cable to turn the gears for pedal movement. The adjustablilty seems very robust as well with several pedal positions to be chosen.

A couple questions:

1. Does anyone know the last year this option was available? I would assume 75/76.

2. Does anyone know how many cars may have been equipped? I would assume a very low production number.

Any info or insight, personal experience with them, etc... would be appreciated.

Thanks!
