If there was a way to verify the correct cable length for your application vs. what is actually installed on the truck, that might be worth a try. Case in point: my old 78 camino had 1/2 a V8 w/a 2 barrel & @ some point in its life someone swapped the throttle cable for a Q-jet 4 barrel cable. It was too long & I couldn't get full throttle (not that your missing anything @ full throttle w/ 1/2 a V8).
