56 truck gas pedal
Dropping in a carbureted 350. Replacing the front floor pans and the old stock gas pedal was a rusted lump of junk. What are you guys using for the "go" pedal ? Prefer something cable operated and easy to find in a salvage yard. Thanks.

Re: 56 truck gas pedal
look for mid 70's - early 80 trucks. bolts to the fire wall, pull cable thru the firewall. I sold mine off my donor truck to street rod guys. Lokar etc. used it as the model for there billet stuff.

Re: 56 truck gas pedal
'73-'87 were the same body, NOT the same gas pedal the whole time?

Re: 56 truck gas pedal
I'm going to guess that the pedal is probably the same but the cable changed when they switched over to TBI ? This is just a wild guess. I'm nowhere near the point of needing one but since I'm getting ready to weld in floor pans I got to wondering what would be cheap & easy to use in case I happen to find myself in a salvage yard. What sucks is that I used to manage a yard in NH with around 1000 cars & trucks on site most of the time. Now that I'm retired & living in Tennessee I have to buy all this nickle & dime junk.
