Does your truck have a 400 turbo in it? If so do you have the kickdown switch plunger on the carb? Reason I ask is that that is my setup. 400 turbo with that snazzy kickdown switch rage n rat sold me

The problem is that the throttle rod gets stuck on the kick down plate that hits the switch and sticks my throttle to about 3500 rpm.

Thanks

like this?
mine has a 90* bend where it fits into the pedal arm. the other end I made some threads & gave it a ball-socket joint. at the pedal end I also used the original clip thingy to hold it in place. these should be available from some hardware stores.
