Is there something that can be done to make the brake pedal not so much higher than the gas? You really have to plan your stops in these things!
Hmmm... Was that really worth the time to type? I haven't driven a honda since I was 16. But thanks anyway.
I had a 51 for a while and I know what you mean... the clutch and brake pedals are in an odd place. the only way I could think of to make it better would be a firewall mounted master cylinder with a swinging pedal. if you are driving a 48-54 truck it is always a good idea to plan your stops in advance anyways
It takes getting used to. After a few hundred thousand miles you don't notice it as much. I agree with 49Ratfink's last comment 100% Unless you have swapped to disk brakes you have to plan your stops in advance and always give yourself room to stop or maneuver around trouble.
I think what DeSoto is trying to say is, convert to power brakes! OK, yeah heat and bend the shaft. I have a 60's truck suspension and brake system on mine (it was there when I got back in '94) and I mated the original pedal to the shaft (did this when rebuilding the whole thing. I plan on bending it a little for FULL action. But, it's pretty good as is. You can alway strap a wood block to the gas pedal Keep On Truckin'
