Hey Steve, I forgot to call you back with those brake pedal measurements. I took a measurement from the pivot point down to the master cylinder rod and then the pivot point down to the pedal. It was 4" and 12.5" respectively. Does this sound like it will work or do I need to make some modifications?

I got mine yesterday and did a mock up test fit, looks awesome and looks like the brake lines will bolt right up. By the measurements you listed it looks like a hole will have to be drilled about 1.5 inches down on the brake pedal arm. Should work perfect.

Thanks for the update. I won't have my truck back from the chassis shop for another few weeks so I can't really see what your talking about. Could you post up a few pics?
