Can the brake pedal be adjusted on these trucks?

The thing's a foot off of the floor and I'm hitting my knee on the steering wheel whilst trying to get my foot on the pedal. This will not do.

Did power and manual brakes have different pedals? Can either be adjusted?

Thanks.

There are two methods to achieve this. You can drill a new hole 1 1/8" down in the booster arm to lower the pedal or add a spacer on the firewall between the booster and firewall. I did the first and have read about the other.

I might have to try that out. I hate not being able to heal/toe up to stop lights or when slowing down for a corner.

1968/72 F100/350: There is one brake pedal, used with power or manual brakes.

The bracket under the dash the pedal hangs from, is the same for all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1967 F100/350 is a one year only brake pedal, the bracket under the dash is also 1967 only.

Clutch pedals: 1967 only / 1968/72 is the same.
