That will enable me to locate my brake pedal to the right of steering column. The first person installed the booster further to the left of the engine and the brake pedal is on the left of the steering column. I never used my left foot to brake with and I don't want to start now. Since I've taken the cab off the frame and don't have my engine yet I'm not sure the booster will clear everything if I mount it close the center indent. I appreciate any information anyone has to offer.

My 52 with a 250 and a CPP booster installed per directions: [img] http://www.chuckthetruck.homestead.com/files/carbclear.JPG[/img] Maybe just offset the pedal and/or arm? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 259 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 259 | How about just bending the pedal arm so it goes on the right side of the column. Or make a template out of say a metal rod or a piece of 1" flat stock to clear the column and locate the pedal pad at the desired location. Then you can remove the current pedal and have a shop make you up another one to bolt in.
I normally just bent the pedal over to clear the column.

I'm using a booster/MC/pedal assembly from an '85 S-10 blazer. There is an "H" shaped indent on the front of my '55 and mine is kind of mounted in the middle of that. In this position, the pedal is just to the right of the steering column. | | |
