Re: brake pedal on auto trucks, some wide some narrow why?
the 86 we had and I posted had a big pedal and it was factory auto 4x4 and had power brakes but had the LD brakes on it. It's weird IMo just sort of random.

Re: brake pedal on auto trucks, some wide some narrow why?
Design intent was big pedal for automatic with power brakes.
It should have the small pedal for automatic with manual brakes, prior to a certain model year. And, naturally, the small pedal for a stick shift, regardless of manual brake or power brakes (because the clutch pedal has to fit in there). Anything else I would suspect was either changed or misbuilt at the plant. The plant did not have the luxury choosing building brake pedals any way they saw fit; that would have been specified by engineering. K
