Re: 71 gas pedal in a 69 issues
Not 100% what you're asking but that plastic but that I see against the firewall should be holding the cable inside the pedal rod slot. The throttle cable should have a square shape plastic part that snaps into the firewall.
I do think you're gonna have to trim a little notch in the middle of that rod support bracket in order for the pedal to swivel back and forth. |

Re: 71 gas pedal in a 69 issues
Look at the very end of the pedal rod at the top where there's a hole for the cable, on the end of the cable is a barrel nut, the hole for the pedal rod is too big to hold that cable inbetween that hole. What do I put on the end of the cable to make it so it stays, I hope that's a little better explanation. Everything works Except cable to pedal rod

Re: 71 gas pedal in a 69 issues
You are missing the plastic piece that retains the cable in the pedal. I will post a pic later if nobody does before me.

Re: 71 gas pedal in a 69 issues
Do the sell this as a replacement part, been looking all over, not finding that plastic piece anywhere. If they don't sell it i guess I gotta wait til a 71-72 truck part out.

Re: 71 gas pedal in a 69 issues
look at this link and you can see the little plastic piece you need, could probably find one at a salvage yard on a chevy in the 70's.

Re: 71 gas pedal in a 69 issues
For what it's worth, I used a 77 on my 68, it's identical until sometime in the 80s I believe.
