    Chevy there are some compact factory cars that have some that work great if you have the hangers . I tried some 67 mustang i have which allow the steering column to go between brake pedal and clutch pedal . I didnt like that because may have push fuel pedal over not there yet was just thinking ahead. I found some from a 94 Mustang that is really compact and sit to the left of column. Even if you move them on you can catch them with the toe pad of your foot . Way its done in a Mustang anyhow . They where cheap and even if i have to modify arms i can get them to fit perfect . Here is a couple pics and i think the A has a smaller foot well then your truck .

    Keep in mind that when you upholster the car the front side panel will take away some footroom to the side.

    No reason the upholstery guy can't make a sunken well bit of upholstery in that area.

    If not, you'll lose about 2" of footroom to the side.

    Interesting set up bluestang67. Don't think I've seen a set up with the clutch pedal that far to left. I'm thinking of getting a offset steering colume and use the origional pedals that went through the floor. I think that might work

    C9 the aperture of the pic does not show it well but there is ample room for the foot with about 1 1/2 clearence for mine . Really hard to get a good shot leaning in , over and twisting LOL .

    It looks like there will be sufficient room for the clutch pedal if the area is upholstered normally.

    I was surprised to find a lot of room lost in my 32 after getting it upholstered.

    With a T-400 no clutch pedal problems, but the brake pedal is over to the left since I'm a left foot braker.

    Along with that, it gave some extra room for your foot when in cruise mode.

    A couple of pics to give you an idea.

    Size 10 shoe that is slid too far up on the throttle pedal.

    The hump with auto's take up alot of valuable space . Running the T-5 slight hump with the way i have engine mounted . I should be able to mount the fuel pedal from same car . The trim on side will be a hard plastic with just a layer of material .
