Clutch pedal too high....way too high

[scottc66383]

Do, I have a 1993 Ram W150, 5.2 magnum engine. I've spent quite a bit of $$ getting this back on the road. New reman engine, new shocks, Wheel bearings, brakes, clutch, release bearing, rebuilt rear differential. Got it all together and drove a few weeks working out the kinks and boy did I find a big kink. The sheetmetal bracket that the clutch/brake pedals pivot on snapped in two when shifting to 3rd gear. I've tried to weld the bracket back together and strengthen the spot welds on the top side where the box attached to the dash metal, but the clutch pedal is extremely high. I mean extremely high. Everything looks lined up under the dash, could I have caved the firewall? Doesn't appear to be. I'm at a loss....

Does it still work? If so, does it matter?

I seem to remember lots of older trucks with the clutch higher than the brake.

Edit: a quick googling shows the bracket is available on Amazon, eBay, and other places.
