Default Pedal

In a 1946 Chevy the pedals were through the floor. But the last owner had power brakes installed. The pedal is mounted under the dash. They put a 350 in the truck and with the limited space under the hood the mount was a bit high and the cab space is pretty small.

Having to lift ones leg so high to brake the truck plus using your left leg to brake is a bit clumsy. I can adjust to using my left foot, but having to lift your leg so high is a problem and I worry about having to brake in a hurry!

I'm having some work done to the truck in two weeks. It has some suspension issues that need to be corrected. I may talk to the mechanic and see if the pedal can be repositioned. If it could drop 3 or 4" I could at least rest the ball of my foot on the floor and tap the brake when needed!
