Restore the pedal feel your 1940–48 Ford lost fifty years ago.

The brake and clutch pedals on an early Ford pivot on a single shaft riding in bronze bushings. Both wear. The shaft goes oval, the bushings go loose, and what you feel in the car is sloppy pedal travel, a clunk under your foot, and a clutch that doesn't release as cleanly as it should. You can rebuild everything downstream of the pedal and still have a mushy pedal, because the wear is right here at the pivot.

This is a complete Dennis Carpenter clutch and brake pedal shaft set, Ford part number 01A-7506-S — the shaft plus all four bronze bushings, still sealed in the factory bag exactly as it came from Carpenter. Dennis Carpenter has been the benchmark name in Ford reproduction parts for decades, and this is the correct-geometry replacement, not a piece of drill-rod cut to length.

✅ Condition Summary

New. The bag has never been opened — everything you see in the photos is exactly as it arrived from Dennis Carpenter, and the part has not been handled or test-fitted. The poly bag shows normal storage wrinkles and the labels are creased against the contents; the parts inside are unaffected.

📋 Buyer Notes

Please look through every photo carefully — the photos are part of the description, and the part number label is fully legible in them. Confirming fitment for your specific car or truck is the buyer's responsibility, so measure or compare against your own pedal support if there's any doubt; other applications may exist beyond those listed above. Questions are welcome and I'd rather answer them before you buy than after. And if you're building an Early Ford, take a look through the rest of the store — there's a lot more Flathead-era hardware where this came from.
