Brake Conversion help
I'm currently doing a frame off restore on my 1955 F100, after removing the stock clutch and brake pedal, I realized that there is something missing. I'm going back with a frame mounted master and booster, using the stock brake pedal. If I remove the stock clutch pedal, there is nothing to hold the brake pedal in place, is there a kit I'm missing? I'm using a master/booster kit from CPP, I did notice that they sell a kit if your using your stock clutch pedal, but I don't seem to find anything else. I did notice that I can remove the old clutch arm from the rod however, still don't understand what keeps the stock brake pedal in place. thanks for you help.

I don't know if 48 and 55 interchange, but I do know the pedals in my 55 come through the floor. Does any one know the best donor vehicle for swinging pedals that would include power breaks and a hydraulic clutch?

I used the swinging pedals PBMC and CMC from a 93 Camaro, mostly because it's where my T56 came from. Had to modify the mount a bit to widen the spread between the pedals to straddle the steering column, but otherwise it fit well, see my gallery.
