Mounting the cheaper truck DBW pedal in a 55-59 cab
I saw mounts for sale online that use the corvette pedal, and I seriously considered buying. Then I saw it was $150. Then I realized the pedal wasnt compatible with my '03 5.3... then I realized the pedal and TAC that came with the truck are MOST likely to work the first time.
So I figured out my own mounting plate.

Re: Mounting the cheaper truck DBW pedal in a 55-59 cab
Once installed, the pedal sits pretty much spot on the height of a floor mount booster using a factory pedal. Depending on how firm my brakes end up being, there may be room to adjust both of these closer to the firewall to relax the right leg a bit more.

For sure. I actually used a trick while installing to do that. Jammed a bolt into the top of the pedal to show its height at WOT, and used that when selecting the pedal position.

Re: Mounting the cheaper truck DBW pedal in a 55-59 cab
Just an FYI,, but most pedals have some extra travel built into them to allow for the carpet and insulation. Jamming it all the way open and modifying it from there may result in the last bit of the pedal not doing anything, so it will feel like you get 100% WOT at around the 75% mark.
