That is a good question but as you said, the illustration of the horizontal pedal is in the 55-6 parts book. That one is on the brake pedal though. Maybe they were interchangeable???? The V8 clutch pedal shown is vertical and actually looks smaller unless it is just the comparison to the wide brake.

51-4 parts book shows a different clutch pedal top was specified for all models starting in 52 for use on cars with power brakes and it is the same one called for in the 55-6 book. It may be the horizontal top but like you, most all I have seen have been the manual brake vertical orientation.

Another curious thing is there is a different brake pedal top specified for 55 cars with manual suspension. Wonder what is different between the one called for when the car had TL.
