I'd really appreciate it if someone could post a picture of the accelerator, brake and clutch pedals of a '39.

I'm more interested in the position, size and shape of the accelerator pedal as I think my accelerator pedal has been modified and it's so high up its really difficult and uncomfortable to use. As much detail as possible would help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

Attached image shows pedals as they are now, is the accelerator correct?

I don't believe it's correct. Below shows my 38. Of course it could have changed in 39. If so someone will tell us.

Toe board clearance is the distance between the pedal lever on the engine side of the firewall , and the floor where the round detachable pedal passes into the inside of the vehicle, ( think about the pedal hitting the sheetmetal every time you let the brake pedal go ).
If you have about 2 inches or 50mm of free play in your pedal , I would suspect that there is too much clearance between the brake shoes and the drums, a brake shoe adjustment would be in order,
