I found this under my seat and it does have some overspray on it which leads me to believe it was attached somewhere when the truck was painted last. Any guesses

Steven Sellers · 01-03-2004, 09:07 PM

last one

paintpyro · 01-03-2004, 09:14 PM

I think it goes under the steering column.

Steven Sellers · 01-03-2004, 09:15 PM

I finally got around to looking behind and under my seat and found this thing in the crouched ready to attack position and I dont have a clue what it is or if it even belongs to my truck

Steven Sellers · 01-03-2004, 09:17 PM

Now that would make sense my steering column has been replaced and now my brake pedal is way higher than my clutch pedal see

pickupman · 01-03-2004, 09:18 PM

bolts to the dash under steering column. Your brake and clutch pedal come back and rest onto those rubber bumpers

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-03-2004, 09:18 PM

Goes under the steering colum and act's like a brake and clutch pedal stop.. Not sure as to what the proper word for it is..

Steven Sellers · 01-03-2004, 09:20 PM

Thanks guys yall never cease to amaze me with the details now to put it on

*Randy70C-10* · 01-03-2004, 09:58 PM

That one looks a little rusty, I have a box of them if you want one.

paintpyro · 01-03-2004, 10:01 PM

Woo hoo, I actually had an answer as opposed to askin all the questions

Injected68LS1 · 01-03-2004, 10:09 PM

Can I have it? I don't think I have a pedal stop. My stop is the brake light switch. I guess I lost mine too.

Steven Sellers · 01-03-2004, 10:16 PM

So this thing hanging, you know my brake light switch, does it hook to that plate?

Injected68LS1 · 01-03-2004, 11:42 PM

I don't think so. There's no extra holes in that plate.

pickupman · 01-03-2004, 11:45 PM

That goes into the brake and clutch pedal assembly itself should be a hole there for it.

Longhorn Man · 01-04-2004, 01:29 AM

The lack of a brake pedal stoper probably pushed that switch out of the hole.
Follow the pedal arm up, you'll see where it goes.

Steven Sellers · 01-04-2004, 02:26 AM

Sounds like a plan thx all for the replies

Good job Paint!

I feel like that all the time

*1972C10* · 01-04-2004, 02:47 AM

If it did push the switch out hopefully it didnt ruin your threads If thats the case gonna need a new switch.

Longhorn Man · 01-04-2004, 04:02 AM

I had one destroy the switch when it forced it out. Broke the thing in 1/2.

Steven Sellers · 01-04-2004, 07:12 PM

Does anyone have a pic of where the brake light switch is supposed to mount. I have a sneaky suspicion that when they replaced my column they took the part it mounts to out

*Randy70C-10* · 01-04-2004, 09:06 PM

Steve, when you come over I'll show you where it all goes.

jmanz69 · 01-04-2004, 10:18 PM

It mounts here. I just rebuilt mine today. Sure is pretty now.
You know, that is a pretty scary wiring job under the dash there. I would get that cleaned up if I were you.

jmanz69 · 01-04-2004, 10:19 PM

I have a pic of where it goes, but I can't get it to post. I have had this problem all day. I can email it to you if you need. I just rebuilt mine, so I have it out.

Steven Sellers · 01-05-2004, 01:03 AM

Thanks Randy sounds like a plan.

jmanz69 thats what came with my truck and yes it is a mess that I am going to clean up for sure
