all these ol trucks have 1-2" difference between the pedals - you'd hafta ask the Generals engineers about why, but I suspect it has to do with the amount of throw required for each under ALL conditions, from new and properly adjusted to worn or poorly maintained .... I'd be careful about chopping length off the brake pedal, leverage is part of the equation, and also reducing the length = reducing the travel of the MC piston ....
