Do you have any pictures of this set-up in our trucks?

No, I have no pictures of that pedal in a C10. I am an SCCA racer and I usually have to make make all of the bracketry I need to install stuff like this. There aren't any parts stores that cater to that small a market so you either make what you need or you stay off the track. The Wilwood pedal is not meant to be supported by the firewall alone. You are expected to fashion a bracket that supports the TOP of the pedal assembly. That bracket includes a support and attachment for the clutch return spring and the clutch "disengaged' sensor for the engine computer if you are running one. A typical bracket for the front mount pedal I posted is shown in the drawing below. Pedal length and pedal angle are adjusted by cutting and either adding or taking out a section of the pedal arm and re-welding to get the correct fit. It's a cut and fit process but usually works well if you are patient, use cardboard templates for the pedal arm and the mounting bracket.
Or, as a alternative, pull the brake and clutch pedal quadrant out of a wrecked truck compatible with yours and mount the clutch master to that.
