hotrodimpy · 09-14-2010, 09:51 AM

My name is John Impy. I am the Product Development Manager here at Lokar.
We are currently working on a line of new products for 67-73 C-10 trucks.
We are in need of a section of a factory firewall from a 1971-1972 C-10 truck.
The section that I am looking for is in the throttle pedal area. If anyone can help with this Please contact me at. Lokar (865) 966-2269 or johni@lokar.com We are located in Knoxville Tn and will arrange shipping.

Thank you
John Impy

you must be looking for a cable set up peddle the 70 and earlier used a rod.........keep in mind that on alot of our engine swaps on the 67-70 we use the 71/72 peddle Ass. because of that cable set up..so be sure not to forget about us!!

**1971 GMC SHORTY** · 09-14-2010, 07:26 PM

Lokar Has the best stuff and its Made in Good Ol USA.
Use it in All My Builds

hotrodimpy · 09-14-2010, 11:41 AM

As for the 67-70 year model trucks those are not a problem. There is no hole in the firewall for a cable so you can drill your own hole to match up to our pedal ass'y.

Thank you
John Impy

hotrodimpy · 09-14-2010, 12:23 PM

Thanks for the Pic big Al. I am currently building a throttle pedal assy for that truck also and we want to make it a direct bolt in ass'y.

Since I am not a paid member of this board I will no longer use it. I thought asking for help was differant than WTB. Thanks again My intent was not to make anyone mad

GASoline71 · 09-14-2010, 12:34 PM

Lokar makes great products!

I would buy the assembly you are talking about for my '72 toot-sweet!

**Clyde65** · 09-14-2010, 12:56 PM

I wish Locar would make a pedal assy for a 63-66 with the LS cable in mind. I have one of your cable assy and pedal but it doesnt fit like I would like it. THe floor is alot different in the 63-66.

HavinSomeFun · 09-14-2010, 02:39 PM

Trying to call you now.

HavinSomeFun · 09-14-2010, 02:47 PM

Done deal.

68GMCCustom · 09-14-2010, 04:22 PM

If I had what you were looking for, I'd be glad to give it to you.

Can someone help him out? And since its for Lokar for development...help us all out at the same time?

hotrodimpy · 09-14-2010, 05:05 PM

Thanks for all the help (and support) HavinSomeFun has stepped up to the plate and has got us taken care of. Thank you for that. I have used message boards before and have never had to pay to buy anything. Maybe if I were to sell something I could understand needing to be a paid member. With all that aside Thank you very much and we look foward to getting this project completed for SEMA this year.

**rob32472** · 09-14-2010, 09:01 PM

Hotrodimpy if lokar needs anything just let this board know we will gladly help with any R&D you need

ChevLoRay · 09-14-2010, 09:27 PM

I have a few hundred bucks worth of Lokar stuff that is as yet, uninstalled. Looking forward to the day when it can be installed and even better....used!

HavinSomeFun · 09-15-2010, 10:22 AM

Guys and Gals, it's all good. I think the situation is all taken care of and hopefully we will have more available parts for our trucks soon. As it seems so many of us are going with the LS based options and looking for solutions to our older setups, I for one will take all the help I can get.

If it helps at all, I will purchase the $25 membership for them.

PipsC10 · 09-15-2010, 11:09 AM

when I first read this post, all of a sudden I got really excited! Knowing Lokar was doing R&D for our trucks is awesome news. Then I got really mad, because I just ordered their throttle cable, a 71-72 pedal assembly and LFD's throttle bracket. I should have waited to see what Lokar comes up with! LFD's stuff is great and I will have the satisfaction of knowing I pieced it together myself and it will look awesome none the less.........anyway welcome to the board, your comments and dedication to R&D for our trucks is GREATLY appreciated!!!

Sillyoldman · 09-15-2010, 10:34 PM

Ok. This thread has been removed of all of its off topic conversation. Lets not confuse Registered Users with Premium Members . Registered Users are welcomed and appreciated here. So are Premium members. Premium members rightfully get perks not limited to, but include "Want to buy" posting abilities. The OP did not ask to buy in his original post. Later he did comment that he was unaware that he needed to be a member to "buy" from this website. Judgement call? Yes. Was he targeted? No. With that said lets continue to welcome him by being respectful to his targeted topic. Any further off topic replies will be removed and appropriate actions will be taken.

ChevLoRay · 09-15-2010, 11:45 PM

Thanks for making this a civil "conversation" for us all.

I concure!!

What else is Locar thinking about making for truck toys!...what we could reelly use is a way to convert out speedo cables to the new eletronic trans!!!

68Stepbed · 09-16-2010, 08:23 AM

Most hot rod shops have conversions for the elec. speedo deals. Dolphin guages also has some kits.

**Clyde65** · 09-16-2010, 10:12 AM

I have Dolphin guages and wish I would have bought Auto meter or something like them, just because the electronic speedo isnt working like it should at all. I am working with Dolphin but I hate to have no speedo on a DD.

big_al_71 · 09-14-2010, 12:11 PM

...Welcome to the board...

I used your lokar trothle cable assy in my 71 and it works perfect....

GASoline71 · 09-14-2010, 04:39 PM

Way cool... glad you stepped up like that HSF...

I'm very interested in the developement of these pedal and cable assemblies.

Gary

Cole Trickle · 09-14-2010, 07:33 PM

I was the development coordinator at Magnaflow exhaust for years.
We borrowed a car/truck paid for a rental and gave out a free exhaust when the system was complete. I imagine Lokar will do close to the same deal
