Brake pedal return spring?...
Is there such a thing? On the '74 F100, does or did Ford use a brake pedal return spring? Mine flops down onto the brake light switch and will naturally run the battery down if I don't lift up on the pedal as exiting the said vehicle. If this were a Cheby, I know it would need a spring. Any ideas? Facts?

Brake pedal return spring?...
Can't answer your question about the spring on 74's...never owned one. But years ago when dino's roamed the earth, I had a similar problem with my 69. Went to the auto parts store and bought a generic package of springs...about $3. After about 2 exchanges at the counter, found a pack with a spring that worked. My 69 pedal was drilled for the spring, but can't remember where I hooked it to the underside of the dash. It's a cheap fix. Good luck.
