Gas pedal needs up grading - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone change the original gas pedal (mounted to the floor) to something that is smoother and not mounted to the floor? What did you use? and how did you mount it? I am using a throttle cable not the original push rod.

You mean changing from the type that snaps onto the floor and rests against the rod....and going to something that is free-hanging from the firewall?

Thanks Putter!!!! That's exactly what i want to do. What model did that pedal assembly come from. My mom has a 97 chevy truck and it looks about the same. No sure about the rod length.

Well, "LIFE" got in my way and the truck was pushed to the back of the shelf. Now my plate is getting less full, and I am gearing up to get rolling again. Even have the wife & kids backing the idea!?!?!

I hear ya, man. I hate it when that whole "life" things gets involved. It just messes up all kind of plans.

Glad to see ya back.
