    Hey guys and gals! I was wondering if you can help me out and give me a measurement on the height of the brake pedal to the toe board. I bought the truck without a brake pedal and m/c so I don't have a reference measurement. I'm installing a CPP power brake ***embly and there's no measurement given. I know I can adjust it to whatever height I want, but I'd like to know the stock height and take it from there.

    Thanks!

    I'm about 6 3/4" from the toe board. Just a guesstimate.

    about 8 or 9 inches, depending where on the pedal you're measuring, from next to the hole where it goes thru the floor.

    Hint: the brake lights won't turn off, until the arm is almost touching the bottom of the floor.

    I took my measurement from the actual part of the brake pedal you step on to the edge of the hole the pedal goes through. It seems if I brought my pedal up to 8"-9" the arm would be right up against the firewall on the outside or pretty close to it. Is this the way it looks on yours, squirrel? Thanks!

    That's how they are stock, the arm sits right against the underside of the floor.

    Actually there's about half an inch clearance. The angle is such that the arm is mostly parallel to the floor.

    This truck might have the pedal a bit low, I was in a wreck and things moved around. But it's close.
