Re: Three-to-two pedal conversion

This is what I did to my 60: Disconnect the return springs for the clutch and brake pedal. Slide out the long shaft (pin) from the top mounting bracket of the clutch and brake pedal by removing a bolt and nut from the end cap and disregard the clutch pedal. With the brake pedal removed I cut off the brake pedal slightly below where the bend (curve) starts. Found a donor Chevy truck 70-90s with a disc brake pedal and cut off with a torch. I measured the piece I cut off from the original pedal and used the same measurements and welded on the replacement foot pedal with a new rubber pad. Finished off the pedal with very little body work and paint. When reinstalling the brake pedal add grease to the shaft and be very care full with the plastic bushins inside the upper brake pedal hanger bracket. I ended using the ones on the disregarded clutch pedal because they were in better shape. Here is a pic I just took and been driving my truck for a year now...People see it and always ask me if it came original with an automatic and power brakes...
