I will ship and I take Paypal. Please make me an offer. Shipping from Wisconsin zip 53581 and package would be about 8-9 lbs. if you want to estimate shipping. Thanks for looking. Todd

so im taking it this one didn't work for your 9th gen/obs truck is this correct? the pedal im looking for does in fact differ from the 350 vac brake and also differs from the pre-obs pedal (as the one you have for sale here.)
you mistakenly bought this older one,tried it but it doesn't work in the obs and this is why your selling this one now?
do i have this right? i want to make sure i don't needlessly copy any mistakes you made in this quest for the correct pedal.thanks brother.

When I changed out my brakes and peddle all I did was remove the peddle shaft pins and pulled it out of the donor truck. This can't be done on the standard trans trucks. The peddle shaft is locked in place with castle nuts and copper pins on each end and are tuff to hold on too. Also that peddle shaft is larger than the auto trans peddle shaft... Mel found this out well after he modified a peddle. then tried to install it onlt to find he had the auto trans peddle and he needed the atandard trans peddle.

This pedal from the Bricknose F-Superduty IS NOT CORRECT for the hydroboost install in an OBS truck. You will need to get the pedal assembly from an OBS F-Superduty for your OBS truck. Of course, you could just "move" the booster rod pin "up" (or toward the the bracket pivot) 3/4" and then it should line up with your hydrobooster rod properly. As I understand it, the hydrobooster rod needs to enter the booster as straight and horizontal to the booster bore as possible, and the brake pedal pin location 2-3/4" below the bracket pivot makes this possible.

I bought this Bricknose F-Superduty brake pedal assembly "thinking" all the F-Superduty trucks were the same since they all have hydroboost. "Tis not true! You will note the location of the booster rod pin is 3-1/2" below the bracket pivot - which is the same place our OBS vacuum booster pin is located. The hydrobooster was already gone when I pulled this pedal assembly from the bricknose F-Superduty, so I could not look at it and get measurements from the mounting studs to the booster rod. If soemone out there can actually make use of this bricknose pedal assembly, I would be willing to sell it to them for the cost of packing and shipping just to get it out of my shop. Shipping will still be around 20 bucks though.

Good luck with your search. By the way, to further confuse the issue, I found that the personnel at the "yards" I called or stopped at (don't have Pick-n-pulls anywhere near me) get confused real quick when you ask if they have any F-Superdutys in the yard. Of course, they are thinking 1999 up Superdutys. You may have to explain exactly the "F-Superduty" is and the years it was made. Todd
