Accelerator/gas pedal and cable question?

I'm finishing up my 55 GMC build with 5.3 LS in it. What did you guys use for a decent budget minded pedal and how long was the cable you ordered? One last question is where did you mount the brake switch?

What brake pedal are you using firewall or below floor mounted brake assembly ?. With LS motor a Lokar style pedal seems to be easier to attach to your needs, they are available on egay clones from china if your worried about price

Re: Accelerator/gas pedal and cable question?

I called lokar and asked about the best pedal for an AD truck. Guy said my best bet is an eliminator so that's what I went with. They also sell cables and brackets for ls motors. I think the 55 second series truck might have a retrofit kit from lokar but not sure. I'm as cheap as anybody but these are only 120 and not worth saving $$ on Chinese junk. Especially with a component this critical.

Lokar advises to order the 48" cable for the LS engine. http://www.lokar.com/product-pgs/thr...or-pedals.html

With the 36" is that the outer sleeve and the inner cable can be cut to let's say 44"?
