Gas Pedal Options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Curious if anyone has had to come up with a different way to run the throttle pedal. My stock pedal on the GMC, which I assume is the same on the Chevys, is too far toward the passenger side for my engine swap. A cable setup would be the ideal. Is there a cable setup that can be found at an average junkyard that works with fabrication? Our junkyards don't have any 60-66 and almost no 67+ but usually can find some 80's GM. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. I saw that when I did a search but unfortunately haven't seen a 71-72 in any junkyard (probably a good thing!).

**slepysal** · 12-02-2015, 12:37 PM

No problem !
I went with a used "spoon " type pedal and a cable /bracket from then Kragans now O'rileys

I used a pedal out of a F150 on my old 53 wagon that worked fine.
You can try going to pick a pull and see what you can find too

Lokar is what I used. Darn sweet setup.

I don't think you would absolutely have to use a pedal assembly form a '71-'72. I don't see why an assembly from a '73-'87 wouldn't work. It looks nearly the same as the '71-'72.

Thanks all - I will try to find an 80s chevy truck pedal to check out.

Try A late 80's or early 90's gas pedal I found one at a swap meet for 5$ and worked perfectly! aka Throttle body type with cable.

Mark...

I went to Lokar's website and only found a pedal for 67-72 C10's. Did you adapt the 67-72 unit to your 64? If so was that very difficult?

Yes TJ, inquiring minds want to know?

Lokar makes one that will fit as well as the 70's model gas pedal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lokar-XBAG-6...JVchWH&vxp=mtr
They also make the same unit not black. But I think I will be using the black one. I have a 72 gas pedal to use but I'm not at home for a few months.
