55-56 Chevy Pedal Assembly

1955-56 Chevrolet Passenger Car Pedal Assembly

Even though 55-56-57 Chevy Clutch Pedals use
the same replacement part number (3735587),
there are slight differences, in the production parts.
Below I have a couple of used OEM assemblies
to use for comparison.


55-56 Return Spring


57 Return Spring
The 1955 and 1956 Pedals, use unique wire clips for
their return spring attachment and their own return
spring bracket, attached by 3/8"-16 bolts screwed
directly into threaded holes in the pedals.
While in 1957 Chevrolet switched to a wire hook on
one end, with an oval plate hooked to a pin on the
spring bracket on the other. The spring bracket is
attached by 3/8"-16 bolts with nuts and lock washers.
The pedals have "thru holes". The 57 spring bracket
doubles as the pedal stop and is mounted on the inside
of the pedal.


55-56 Pedal Stop Bumper
The 1955-56 Pedal assembly used a separate
Clutch pedal stop bracket part # 3709581 and
Two different rubber bumpers depending on whether
you had power brakes or not.
