So I am at the junkyard and I find the gas pedal assembly you see in the pic and the ashtray with bearings, got both for a total of 5 bucks. I was looking at the gas pedal and thinking about the adapter thread I have seen and was wondering something. My truck has the stock gas pedal but when I got it the actual pedal was missing. I drove it that way for a long time and liked the control actually. When I finally put the pedal I ordered in it felt stiff and wrong but I did install it right. I considered putting a 72 era pedal on the existing stock 68 set-up to keep it off the floor but was worried about how it would not pivot. Anyway, on the back of the pedal in the pic is a spring that allows it to go forward some and return on its own. Couldn't I adapt just the pedal and spring return in the pic to my existing accelerator arm. It would keep it off the floor and allow it to pivot. Granted it would not be a cable system like the full mod people do but could it work?
Or should I use what I found and convert to a full cable system?
