Post Fixed Something That's Always Bothered Me 67-72 C10

Hello, I finally got around to fixing something that's always bothered me when I drive my truck. It's the small details that make the difference and make these trucks more enjoyable to drive!

The stock gas pedal is recessed 3+ inches down from the brake pedal, causing my shoes to get stuck behind the brake pedal and just generally annoying me when I take it out, especially when off 4 Wheeling over technical terrain.

Solution, get a used chevy pedal off the flea-bay and use the TIG welder to put the pedal in the position it should have been from the factory. I considered a Lokar pedal but it didn't have the range to put the pedal in the best possible location. My TIG welder, some 3/8 steel rod and time allowed my to place it literally anywhere.

I think the stock pedal may not have been opening the secondaries all the way as well, confirmed they do now.

See pictures below!
