What are you using for a GAS PEDAL - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

He hot rod guys. What are you using for a gas pedal (mechanical)? Was thinking about a firewall mount or a floor mount. Not sure which way to go. Pictures, pros, cons, other issues? What have you learned that we can learn from you?

Thanks

I went with the Lokar floor mount with my 53. Super easy install. I've never had a problem with it. It was kind of expensive, however, I'll most likely buy another for my 59.

Some modified piece of junk out of a car that I junked out years ago. Too ugly to take any photos of but it worked for a lot of miles.

In the past I had a bad case of making what I had available at the time work and wasn't too willing to go out and buy aftermarket pieces if I could modify an existing piece.

Thanks for the contributions. Doesn't any one else use a gas pedal around here?

I'm using the stock gas pedal and linkage. Works just fine and I like the look of the linkages and stuff.

I merged a "92" firewall and floor in my 55, so the stock pedal and cable fit in its stock location. That style truck hs a floor mount pedal.

57 chevy auto pedal, pivots thru the firewall and uses a rod to the carb. I sold the pedal out of my 74 donor truck to a rodder. It bolts to the fire wall on the inside with a pull cable thru the FW to the carb.

I'm planning on using one something like this once the paint is done

I'm using the pedal out of the s10 that donated most of the parts for my build. 3 bolts through the toeboard, and uses the stock s10 throttle cable.
