You might get a hold of Richard Lacey if you want to use 38 pedals. Yes 39 pedals do require quite a bit of surgery to work. Richard has a template for what to cut for the 39 pedals. I cut up my frame to use 39 pedals on my 36.

"We manufacture HERE IN THE USA our exclusive no-modification kits to install early Ford/Lockheed or new Lincoln-Bendix brakes on your 1932-1938 Ford. We supply ALL fittings, hoses, brackets and fasteners required, including pre-bent lines that fit. No cutting or welding is required, and NO drilling is required on 1932-1933-1934 models. One (1) extra hole is required (in the LH rear radius rod for the rear T fitting) on 1935-1936 models, and seven (7) extra holes are required (in the rear radius rods for the rear T fitting and line clips) on 1937-1938 models. Otherwise, our kits use ONLY existing holes in the original frame, and utilize the original unmodified pedals, and it is NOT necessary to relocate the battery on 1932-1936 models. The basic Master Cylinder kits also include linkage to connect the original handbrake handle to the rear cable loop originally used by Ford on 1942-1948 systems. Our kits can be uninstalled without leaving any trace (except for the extra holes on 1935-1936-1937-1938 models) should someone elect to revert to original mechanical brakes. "
