Did 69 c-20's come with a manual throttle? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

into69z · 09-04-2011, 02:29 PM

Still putting together a dash for my truck and I wanted to find out if the option was available for a manual throttle control for the 69? Any one have pictures of the dash and the "hook-up" on the engine side? If available, did they use a 67-68 bezel? and did it change the wire harness?.................whew, that's a ton of questions

Below is a picture of someone's 69 C-20 with a manual throttle and another picture of a glove box SPID from a 69 396 Longhorn.

It could have come from the factory ( I have a few pictures of SPIDS with the manual throttle listed ) or it could have been dealer installed too.

I also have pictures saved of them on BOTH sides of the steering column ( from the factory and the dealer )

From what I have seen the 67-68 were on passenger side, the 69-70 were on the driver side and 71-72 were on passenger side? The 67-8 is understandable due to location of the wiper and lights, but when they went to opposite sides things went out the window. My guess is the way the system operates. The 71-72 system actually has a seperate lever welded to the gas pedal that the cable mounts to the 69-70 and guessing 7-8 used a cable or chain that mounted in engine compartment. My 72 has factory manual throttle and is mounted on passenger side under wiper switch, which is the same for all that I have seen, the difference shows up in the lever located on the inside pedal - some are seperate lever some are a tab welded to exsisting lever.

Thanks for the info......I guess the "cable" on a 69 then, mounts on the drivers side and snakes around to come out of the firewall in line for the throttle rod, so they can be tied together. Anyone have pictures of where the cable comes thru the firewall and how/what connects it to the carb?

anyone have pictures of where the cable bracket mounts on the throttle rod and how it hooks to the carb?
