The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline brake pedal return spring on 1948 Chevy

I am looking for some guidance on how and where to attached the brake pedal return spring on my 1948 chevy 3/4 ton truck - I have the spring from "the Filling Station" but not clear how an where to attach it- HELP!

It attaches from the bottom arm of the pedal near where the master cylinder pushrod attaches and to a bracket on the top flange of the frame rail forward of the pedal shaft. Did you also get the extension between the spring and pedal arm? That's a straight wire with a hook on each end. The info is also in the Factory Assembly Manual. Section 5, Sheet 2.00

thanks I will take a look , where might I find the Factory Assembly Manual????

Should be available on Amazon.

Almost a must-have for restorers.

Not sure if it's exactly the same, but assuming it is, here's a picture to help. This is a 49 1/2 ton.

Here is the page Kevin is talking about. In addition to the spring there is an extension rod thats also available from most of the on line vendors.

thanks for the help, you guys are awesome!!!

any suggestions as to which vendors would have the extension rod?????

I bought mine from Classic parts and it worked perfect.
