Can you not weld some 1" lengths of thick wall tubing, the I.D. of which matches the pedal pivot bolt diameter, onto the porch, and move the pedals out there? The spindles can probably be swapped, left for right so the tie rods will be behind the axle. You will, of course, have to cut the steering shaft tube out and replace it with sections of tubing for the steering shaft to run so that you can have access to the open steering shaft to weld on a new pittman arm. The brake and throttle rods will have to be replaced with longer rods. You can buy 416 stainless 1/4" rod from McMaster Carr for new rods. 416 takes threads well. Some alloys do not. McMaster's part for 1/4" rod is 89095K52. You pick the length you want when you order. Stainless may easily be polished to look almost like chrome. You can see the pedal pivots on my Photon frame. If you can't adapt the original Sears pedals, Fox pedals will give even more legroom. You can see this in the attached pic. Ted
