Anyone have advice on how to mount the pedal in my '51?

Thanks!

Scott, I have to do the same for mine. Hart Rob sells the mounts for a 67 to 72 truck. Since that one won't work for our trucks I am going to build a mount.

Basically, with the seat, steering column and brake assembly in position find a comfortable position for the pedal assembly mocked in place. A third hand device would be really handy...once mocked in place, build a mount to weld to firewall the pedal assembly can bolt to.

The truck assembly is pretty chunky and a Corvette assembly might fit better. Lokar has a very adjustable unit though it is pricey.

Just thinking aloud as I haven't done I yet.
