Re: Fixed Something That's Always Bothered Me 67-72 C10
>>, especially when off 4 Wheeling over technical terrain.<<
Unless you have a size 16 boot, I don't see how you could operate that accelerator pedal in rough terrain. People generally rest their heel on the floor for stability, as the gas pedal is relatively easy to operate at any position between top and bottom. Is your brake pedal is in the correct position with the rubber stop, at the top of the pedal arm? With that raised gas pedal, it would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable for me. With my manual trans,I would really hate getting my foot off the brake pedal on a hill and getting to the gas. Imported cars from counties where people have little feet often have all three pedals lined up at the same height. My C4 had pedals at different heights, with the clutch higher, but they were very close together. You couldn't drive it with work boots. IMO

It all comes down to personal preference really. Not everyone wants to keep their vehicle stock, I take my truck across the Rubicon Trail, something most people don't do. The ability to easily transition from brake to gas and also gas to brake seamlessly is what I desired and accomplished. On to the next modification

Might I make a suggestion. If you're not running shoulder belts, fill those holes! Very bright push in led's for some mood lighting.

Re: Fixed Something That's Always Bothered Me 67-72 C10
I’m 5’11” and I feel the gas pedal is to close to me at times specially after I have been driving the 85 for a while. But I guess it’s all subjective to what you like and feel comfortable with.

Re: Fixed Something That's Always Bothered Me 67-72 C10
Looking at your before pictures the gas peddle looks extremely low in relation to the brake peddle . Mine isn’t like that at all it’s a little lower but not like yours . I’ll snap a picture before I leave for Carlisle this morning
