1971 1972 Deluxe Accelerator pedal et al.
 

It is very cold around here and I am trying to straighten up my storage area. I have been moving the box for this for more than 10 years. I have moved twice and still never touched it. I believe it is a 71-72 Deluxe accelerator pedal set up. Can you please help me confirm that is what I have? Should there be other pieces for it that are not there? I can't keep up, it seems they have new reproduction pieces for most of these old truck parts. Thanks for any help you can offer.

That looks like a 71 setup to me, only thing I see missing is the TH400 kickdown switch, but if you have a TH350 it's not needed. It may be 71-72 but my 72 setup has a different bracket for mounting to the firewall.

jlmerie, your pictured throttle pedal assembly is an OE 1972 setup, the pedal assy. will bolt in and function on both 71 and 72 model year firewalls but the setup was originally removed from a 72 model. The metal pedal support mounting bracket design was changed between the 71 and 72 model years, both metal support brackets had provisions for mounting the TH/400 specific kick down switch regardless of the transmission originally installed in truck. I just had a look in our old saved file/photo archives, both of the below pictured pedal assemblies are OE K31 manual throttle setups, but they are the best side by side pictures that we had on hand showing/detailing the main metal pedal support bracket differences between the 71 and 72 model years.

My 72 looks like the op photo. Appears complete as far as i can tell. The bracket will accept kick down switch for th400. Same bracket used in th350 application. They just skipped the switch if a th350 was installed.
