Re: brake pedal travel

No Idea on them sending the wrong part but stuff happens.

When you are under the truck you want the pushrod to just barely move before you feel it contact the piston. That is reaching up with one hand and moving the pedal while watching the rod move and make contact. You should be able to pull against the return spring with your fingers a few inches up the pedal arm and feel it make contact.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
