Pedal adjustment

Hello, I have a 66 f100 and i was curious on how to adjust the brake and clutch pedals. The brake engages wayyyy to high up and the clutch dosent engage till its all most to the floor. Both pedals are also, way to high up. Is there a way to adjust these to 1.move them down more towords the floor, and 2. Adjust the brake to where it engages a lower towords the floor board, and adjust the clutch to where theres not so much play in it before it engages. I also have a transmission out of a 93 ford f-150 if that makes a difference.

Thank you,
Travis

There is no real height adjustment short of welding and grinding stops in, which isn't as bad as you think. It might have worn nylon pivot bushings which will make the pedals come up higher, they look like little top hats at the pivot points in the assembly, when they are worn out you will also have side to side play of the assembly. As far as the actuation for your clutch, you need to adjust it, if that isn't possible from the swap (I don't know what you got), you need to build a new clutch rod.
