DBW Pedal install

I lied, I immediately started cutting sheet metal again. At least this time it wasn't as thick.

I searched around and found no installations of the the LS DBW truck pedals into 55-59 trucks, so I had to whip out the ole' cardboard and hook my brain juice onto some sort of bracket to hold the Go Button.


I decided on this little number, it uses existing holes in the cab only, and although it does have a bit of flex when you try to push your foot through the firewall, it's plenty stiff for everyday pedal mashin'.

This places the pedal exactly at the stock frame mount brake pedal height. I figure I'll eventually chop both of these down once I get a feel for how much brake pedal travel I need, but for now I can heel-toe between 'em this way.

I'll slap a how-I-did-it over in the LS section in case anyone reading this ran out of cardboard and wants to skip to the cutting.
