I raised the seat on my '54 630, same cab, 1.5" and it really helped. Used two pieces of oak T and G each location.

Will try that as well, good thought but I would still like to possibly modify the pedals, I would think a combination of things will make it drivable. would like to see if anyone has modified the pedals to help....thanks! I have had a few back surgeries and don't have the best feeling in my legs and feet. I'm afraid if the brake pedal is too high I may contact the side and not the top of the pedal in a quick stop.

I have cut the shaft on several brake pedals on trucks that I have had. Remove pedal & shaft. Cut it right below the pedal. Cut out the amount of the shaft to get to the height of the clutch. Weld the pedal back on.
