Thanks for your replies. I think my truck must not have had pedal pads originally because the pedals show too much wear on the metal non skid nubs to have occurred from a rubber pad on top of it. It had to be from a shoe. I just wasn't sure if it came with rubber pads, they fell off, and the truck(it was a farm truck) spent its life missing the pads and eventually the metal nubs wearing out. I guess from wasat agains parts research (thanks!) we could try to locate a 36 truck and see what the metal pedal looks like as your research indicates 36's had pedal pads. I'm betting the 36 pedal is smooth on top. I'll also restate the other question: I'm pretty sure the pedal assembly was black, but mine was previously restored so I don't have any original paint to go by. I'm painting today...
