56 Chevy clutch and brake pedals

[Gene Sharp]

am going with a hyfraulic clutch and hydro boost brake setup
any one got any good ideas on clutch and brake pedal setups
would like to keep then in the floor for a cleaner look on firewall
and to sorta keep the retro look and feel

You should be able to use original pedals . CPP sells a bracket that keeps master cylinder in stock location, Use original clutch setup.

I will use the actual upper pedal part you see
but there is really nothing underneath as this is a
56 model pickup sheetmetal setting on an 80 4x4 frame
and I have a hyfraulic slave cylinder from a Toyota
Landcruiser on my Advance adapters Clutch housing
so must use Toyota Master cylinder on my clutch
and am using Hydroboost master cylinder set up from Master power brakes
for my brake cylinder instead of a vacume booster (is hydraulic with fluid
supplied by power steering pump Like a 1 ton Chevy )

Didn't realize you were using late model frame.I've seen a hydro boost setup on a stock 57 frame(almost went that route myself). I would try to fab a bracket so you could mount assembly to the frame and incorporate original pedal? Maybe even mount clutch slave cylinder to same bracket and modify original clutch pedal.??

thanks will try to get some pictures posted of what I am doing and maybe some her can help me in the design of the bracket
have not really found a ready made bracket that works yet

here is a picture of the underhood area where the pedals will exit the firewall
due to the dip in the origional frame where the cab set we leveled it with a piece of 2x6 tubing so in this area there is approx 12 inches of frame width to mount to
