"I'm assuming (with the pulley setup you showed), this wagon has through-the-floorpan / frame mounted clutch and brake pedals?"
of course! The pulley cable set-up was not original - I think it was used because the original set-up did not have clearance with the v8....not exactly sure what I am going to do with that yet, but thinking a cable set-up like on my cj which works pretty well....I also don't plant to be wheeling this thing too hard or getting it all crossed-up....but a traction device in the rear would be nice....
