71-72 gas pedal curiousity

I have three different 71-71 gas pedal assemblies and am wondering if anyone has found or knows any rhyme or reason as to what or why the differences?
I do know the one pictured on the left has provisions for a manual throttle cable.

Re: 71-72 gas pedal curiousity

i have a dumb question, what is that switch looking device in each of your pictures. i always wondered what the cutout section was for? my truck had the one in your far right picture (1972 gmc 1/2 ton 2wd shortbed stepside.)

Re: 71-72 gas pedal curiousity

I bought 10 of those 71-72 pedal assemblies from teeitup last year and got about three different configurations of them like you posted. They all interchange of course, so I just figured it was for trucks with TH400 and trucks with other than TH400 due to the lack of kickdown switch.

the switch you see is a T400 kickdown switch,

Kevin that's what I thought originally too.. but as you see all mine pictured have the switch.. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.. I wonder if it just happened to be a different supplier for different plants?
