Just a clarification, the non-power brake master cylinder on the 54 and prior models are actually mounted on the frame rail forward of the firewall. Basically right behind where the steering box is mounted. But it is actuated with a linkage that does go under the floorboard. The pedal arcs under the floor, and then it rotates a cam which pushes master cylinder rod forward. Not sure if the was done as some type of force multiplier or what.
