Clutch and Brake Pedal Locations

I'm finally getting to a point where I've got time to start work on the 49' project that I picked up over the summer. I'm using the stock frame with a Mustang II front suspension. I will be running a Saginaw 3 speed manual transmission with a Borg Warner 12v Electric Overdrive and a small block 350.

I've got the motor and tranny in the chassis and I'm beginning to think about mounting the brake and clutch pedals. I want to keep them mounted to the frame for a clean firewall. I also want a hydraulic clutch and power brakes. The truck came with a universal, frame mounted, brake master cylinder/power booster. But, after looking at its location, I don't think its in the right place. I've got the bucket seats sitting in the cab (which is not in my garage with the chassis) and they are about 31" center to center. If the brake pedal is centered with the driver's seat, then it should be about 15 1/2" from the center of the chassis. Right now, its more like 9 1/2" from the center of the chassis. This seems wrong to me.

So, my question is, where are the original brake and clutch pedal located in reference to the center of the chassis? I didn't get the original pedals and linkages when I bought the truck. I'd also like to know where the original pedal pivot point is located for/aft and up/down.....measurements off the front and the top surface of the frame would be great if anybody out there has a stock chassis in their garage that they could measure for me.

Here's a pic of what I've got now.
