ok i got the cab gutted, i suppose the pedal bracket is supposed to be removed after the metal part of the dash, but its out now anyway!, apparently the problem is the center pedal steel bushing floating out and grinding a partial notch in the side of the pedal bracket assembly when the pedal is depressed it caused the thing to try and lock in place, so, the spare i got is in even worse shape, the part is not available since 1990, the plan unless i hear a better one is to weld a hardened washer over the hole where the long bolt goes then cut whatever the thickness measurement is of the washer off the clutch pedal itself so the clearance remains the same, may work, and may cause me to take the backhoe and mash this truck into a lump of steel and rubber and go see what the scrap man wants to give for it,
