DBC Gas Pedal Options
 
Recently got my 5.3 Vortec installed and running. First crank and she fired up, what a relief! Next step is the gas pedal, since I have a DBC engine and a 70 C10 I'll have to replace the pedal it currently has.

What are my options?
  • 71 - 72 pedal?
  • Aftermarket pedal (part number)?
  • Modify exitsing?

I'm using an 04 yukon pedal. Flat sheet out of the factory holes, drill and tap for the DBC pedal, chop the DBC and Factory pedal in half and weld 'em up. et 'voila!

I used the stock pedal on my '72 Chevy with a mountain bike brake cable for the cable.

Lokar makes a nice accelerator pedal that'll bolt right up...

Thanks for the link, a little high priced for the pedal so I think I'm going to hit the part yard soon and try and find a later model pedal.

I used the LFD 71/72 pedal adapter:

With LS1Nova's cheap throttle cable solution:

None in the cab, but here is the bracket I made to attach the cable at the throttle end as the manifold setup was originally DBW.
