I'll eventually get the brake pedal that matches or just take the chrome off of the gas pedal. They all are slanted /. 1-2 hrs depending on how you do it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

I like the fact that it was a nice truck to start with but it's so much more w/the simple details items & corrections made where necessary (5-crimps on one wire??; those rear coils??; the cheesy looking fuel cell & batt placement).

Excellent work on this one!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks Scoti. It's been a fun truck to just "update" and not have to go through the whole restoration process. Someday maybe Ill be able to talk Nate into building me a custom chassis, but right now I love driving it as it is.

I finished the pedal upgrade. I used a extra Lokar cable I had laying aroujnd instead of using the 71/72 factory one. It worked a little better with the supercharger setup.
