    m35a3 stiff brake pedal

    We welded a 9”X3” peddle to our foot brake lever. It’s nice to be at a stop light and have both feet resting on the brake instead of one foot pushing down. And letting others drive your truck it’s a little piece of mind.

    Do your homework and proceed slow and besides how many small and large businesses started with a lot of negative feedback from the start? How many business and Wall Street “experts “ said amazon would fail? That there business plan was severely flawed.
