Are you talking about the pedal linkage or just the rubber pedal itself? If just the pedal,  Dennic Carpenter has them in his catalog for about 15 bucks.
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.

There are two different pedals used on 57.  Only one is available as a repo and I've never  seen the one as used on mine anywhere.  They are not interchangeable.  And only one part # is listed.  I had a post a while back explaining how to modify the available pedal.  Can't remember the title.
57 E Code Black 76B   55 Willys Aero   63 Rivera   99 Lightning  1- XK8 Convs.   05 Vanden Plas  etc.

Thomasso is correct on the 2 different pedals. We've had several threads in the past on the two different pedals. I remember being involved in one of the threads, but I'm not sure why, as I've never even attempted to install an oem pedal or linkage.The one I was involved in had pics showing the two pedals with their matching linkage. One is a spoon type and one is a pin type.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Get a 1966 Fairlane gas pedal. You have to bend the spring a little that goes with the pedal but you keep a clean floor that way.
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

There is an NOS pedal on ebay.  Wonder what style it is?  No pictures of the backside.

You may have to find the other style of pedal arm, cut, & weld so that you can use the more common style of pedal in the future.

guys, it is MUCH easier than you all would think !

Using an old NORS 58 style pedal I used a little rolled pin and small tubing for a roller, it slips right into the 58 style pedal andwill roll inside the elongated slot of the og 57 pedal linkage lever. I did file a bit and put a little chamfer on the elongated opening and you will have to slightly adjust position of the pedal, so to take UTMOST CARE that the pedal doesn't bind at full throttle. once that is sorted, it's straight forward and bolt in !

Guenter told me about that last year and I did what he did.  It solved the problem.
