63 C10 gas pedal conversion questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Rusty one · 04-29-2019, 06:47 PM

I'm starting to work on my 63 Fleetside project and I'd like to get rid of the mechanical stock linkage and get a drive by wire setup. I'll be running a 283 tripower with a 200r4 trans.
The location of the stock pedal assembly is in a weird place...it not flat on the floor but more on the side of the trans tunnel or should I say next to it.
Anyone using a drive by wire setup? If so for what model year vehicles did they get it from??.post some pics too. They really help!
Thanks in advance..

So your getting an LS? Loosing the 283 and tri-power.

I probably should have asked if anyone used or knows of a pedal conversion that uses a cable instead of the stock linkage on my 63 C10. As mentioned,I'll be running a 283 with tri power and a 200R4.

I used a squarebody pedal, but it did not fit the best. I would use the 71-72 pedal if I did it again

Mine is a 65. It’s hard to get in a photo but it is above and to the left of the uneven spot

I can see where the stock pedal was mounted. Thanks for the pic. I'm guessing on the opposite side your cable lines up to your carb bracket.

No issues with the pedal being where it is? Looks like a nice set up. I'm trying to find something closer to a stock look...but I'll keep looking. Have you seen anyone use the old stock pedal on a new cable set up??
