Re: Replacing throttle linkage in a 1960 with ??

I used a pedal from a squarebody to convert mine to cable linkage. I followed Markeb01's guidance to make mine fit. I would not recommend the squarebody pedal because of how the pedal arm is bent, but I made it work. The pedal was 10 bucks at the junkyard. If you want to go cable style, use a 71-72 pedal. It fits better with our firewall and trans hump. I got a new throttle cable from the parts store for the same year truck that I pulled the pedal out of.
