yes they go through , you may be able to grab the end and unscrew it , unless its rusted solid

Re: Broke one of the accelerator pedal pivot studs off in my 67
I just replaced the gas pedal on my 1970 C-10, and I found the pivot studs at The Truck store in the OC. They are just a couple of dollars.. Good luck

Re: Broke one of the accelerator pedal pivot studs off in my 67
a left handed drill bit usually works really well to remove those sorts of things, unless they are rusted solid. The problem is finding them, not everywhere has them

Re: Broke one of the accelerator pedal pivot studs off in my 67
The guy with spares always lives on the other coast!
You might also be able to tack a nut onto whatever remains - I even got a rusted seat belt bolt out that once, and I didn't think there was any hope. I think the heat actually does a lot of it. It's also -possible- that some is poking out the underside. You could tack a nut onto that, or maybe there's enough to grab with vice grips (doubt it, threads aren't that long). Worst case would be what I think you're saying, knock it off entirely and tack a nut on there as a new receiver, but that'll work too.

Re: Broke one of the accelerator pedal pivot studs off in my 67
For some trucks (mine) I think it should be a maintenance procedure to put a drop of oil or anti-rust on each side of the threads of these accelerator pedal posts once a year.. such a PITA if they go wrong and it only takes a minute...

Re: Broke one of the accelerator pedal pivot studs off in my 67
I broke mine. Drilled it out, recapped it and put in a repop. Then I got smart and converted over to cable throttle.
