47-55.1 Brake pedal return spring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can't post pics, but my brake pedal return spring, one of the few I have tried, on my new build isn't working correctly. Truck is a '53, booster and master cylinder mounted on the frame under the cab, stock pedal. Existing spring goes from the pedal where it meets the brake pushrod and to a homemade bracket on a tranny/motor bolt. I've tried a few, none seem to return the pedal completely. Good, stout springs. I'm thinking possibly my design is wrong. What do others have for a return spring?
