Both my '54 3100 and '55 1st suburban have a spring that runs from the pedal
to a bracket that is sticking out from the frame. A similar bracket, in the
same area, is for the clutch return spring. I replaced the spring on my sub
with a generic pedal return spring from Schucks and it seems to work fine.
I held it in place to get a feel for the length, then cut and bent it to
fit.

Subject: [oletrucks] Brake pedal return spring
I found a broken spring with one end connected to a lever that is part of
the
original (thru-the-floor) brake pedal. It looks like what returns the brake
pedal up from the floor--where it now rests. Other end is broken somewhere
after the bend starts so I do not know how long it should be. Also I
believe
I have found the spot near the driver side wheel where broken end would
attach.
I would appreciate any info that our knowledgeable crew can give such as
confirm assumption about purpose of this spring and where it attaches on
other end, length, potential sources, any other specs that might be needed
to
order one.
Thanks,
