Re: Accelerator/Throttle Pedal?

A gas pedal has to be comfortable to drive with for distances or the truck or any other vehicle will sit in the garage far more than it gets driven.

I've told the story before but back in the 80's or 90's during a redo I put a gas pedal in my 48 and pulled it back out the next day. It was so uncomfortable to drive with that 5 miles was just too much .

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
