Hi Ed,
Thanks for purchasing your 41 Chevy and at 82 having the spirit and will to enjoy a new adventure. You are a model to a lot of us younger 68 year olds that wonder if we will still have the love for old cars, that this fine hobby offers, at your age. Here is the 41 shop manual. Page 196 shows how to adjust the pedal.
1941 shop Manual Page 196 This adjustment should be easily done by an average mechanic if you show him the manual.
If your problem is the length of the pedal (it sticks up higher than the brake pedal) then you are probably missing the rubber bumper that is installed on the clutch pedal. The bumper is installed near the top of the pedal and can be seen in the engine compartment next to the fire wall. The brake pedal should also have a bumper.
You can order the bumpers from
