Re: 1971 GMC / Chevy accelerator pedal arm
What do you think about these LOKAR systems? Might just have to do an after market accelerator pedal.
http://www.classicindustries.com/tru...onents/?y=1971 Does any one know if their interchangeable with other years? The accellerator pedal arm that is! Last edited by Zulu; 05-06-2011 at 10:05 AM. |

Re: 1971 GMC / Chevy accellerator pedal arm
Zulu We are currently working on a direct fit throttle pedal assembly for the 67-70 and 71-72 Chevy & GMC trucks. This might save you some time and issues in trying to install a universal style throttle assembly. There are also matching Brake, Clutch and E-Brake pedal pads. If you have any questions please contact us Toll Free 1-877-469-7440

Re: 1971 GMC / Chevy accellerator pedal arm
My '68 C/10 was originally painted in 516 Orange. [And still is.] I've heard that color called "Omaha Orange." I used it in a post one time and some guy came back saying that Omaha orange was a Ford color. I didn't flame back, since p!ssing contests are pointless, IMO. Actually, I have seen VWs, Dodges and Fords in that same color.
Getting back to the original content of the thread, I adapted the accelerator arm and mount from a '72 Chevy truck to my '68. I used a cable assembly from some outfit in Santa Barbara, Calif -- can't remember the brand name. It wasn't Lokar. Application was a modified 292 L6 w/ Clifford headers, Offy intake and Edelbrock 4Bbl carb. The old Rube Goldberg turnbuckle/bellcrank rig was prone to jamming, breakdown and didn't give me WOT. Glad to hear somebody has standardized this set-up.
