They were steele products from years ago. I noticed that the steel pedals were cast with non skid steel treads. My question is, when the truck was new were the pedals just steel faced with no pedal pads. It appears that way. I also can't tell the original color of the pedals. i'm guessing they were black, but I don't know for sure. I'm trying to do a very correct restoration.

Over the years the metal "pads" would wear thin and become a safety issue. I'm not the authority on it but this is my "sumation". Joe "6cylindersoverTexas .... where are you my friend? Hang tight Jeff, I'm sure the answer will come.

I will look in the master parts manual and see if I can find a mention of a rubber pedal cover.

group 4.630 pad pedal clutch and brake *qty = quantity
29-36 ALL...(rubber-4 x 1 7/11? overall) 364022 qty. 2
37-52 PASS..(rubber-3 1/2 xx1 7/8 overall 3657980 qty.2
47-54 COMM. UTILITY...(rubber 2 3/8? x 3 13/16? x 1/2 thick..
..3683090* qty. 2
48-54 COMM. (Foot park-steel- 2 1/8 wide and 3 1/2 long)..3687292..qty. 1
53-54 PASS. (rubber 2 9/16 x 3)...3701380..qty. 2
*Note Also used on foot park brake for 1948-52
the ? mark means the number is not clear, but looks like.
There is no mention of 1/2 ton truck. As all listings that involve any specific truck is listed as so IE 1/2 ton truck or 3/4 ton truck .... Not sure why 29-36 would be ALL but not after 37? But that is what I have hope it helps.

The "rough" metal pedal was to stop the pad from coming off as you step on it. It creates a "non sliding" issue for the pad with the rough pedal under the pressure of your foot pushing the pedal down.
I think Steele Ruber products are the only way to go on these trucks. My pedal pads have been on my truck since the 80's. They are a set of Steele Rubber pads and are still very flexable and have not torn or ripped. Steele makes a new quality replacement for virtually every rubber part on a 1937 Chevrolet truck.

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... | | |
