68 accelerator pedal

Is it possible to install a swinging accelerator pedal and go with the accelerator cable instead of the factory accelerator rod in y 68?

Re: 68 accelerator pedal

I did it on my 69 suburban - i cut out the firewall area from a 72 and welded it into my firewall, it was pretty simple-BUT- i had the front clip off and the engine was out of the truck so there was lots of room.

Re: 68 accelerator pedal

Yes, there are adapter plates that make it pretty easy.

Or if you are feeling crafty http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...00#post1383300
