Brake pedal oddity
look at this brake pedal.
 I have never heard of nor seen anything like this on these trucks...have I been missing something, or is it owner installed? It's on this auction... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2415354173 Cool looking truck.

Non stock piece. Some other vehicles had the massive brake pedal, like the cars, but these year trucks did not.

maybe the owners other cars are all stick shift, so the big brake pedal serves as a reminder not to try to hit the clutch? lol

May have been someone who lost his right leg.The wide pedal would give better pressure and pedal angle for braking.
