Re: 71 Chev SWB
I worked on the gas pedal tonight. I used the metal base for the factory pedal on the 71 and welded it to the back of the suburban pedal for added support. Then I drilled through the mounting holes on the 71 metal plate through the back of the mounting plate on the suburban pedal so that the holes lined up. I cut all of the pedal arm off of the suburban except for a few inches I would need to mount the 71 pedal arm to it. I then cut the 71 pedal arm and bent it to where it would be in the same position on the suburban base as it was on the 71 base and welded it to the short piece of arm on the suburban pedal. It worked perfect. The pedal bolted up to the factory holes on the 71. I mounted the pedal but the bolts are crowded in the base and are going to be hard to get a wrench on to tighten. I am going to go get some 1/4 allen head bolts tomorrow and fix that issue. Here are the photos for tonight.
