Re: cable pedal

A few people have done this with success: http://persh.org/Pickup/CableThrottle.htm In fact thats what I am now doing.
'71-'72 or '73-'87 pedals should work.
Although I havnt seen it done I even think the Lokar Xbag will work (see post #8 below) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lokar-XBAG-...mtr&rmvSB=true

They also have an 'Eliminator' floor mounted pedal.

I believe it’s a lokar assembly. I used a chunk of billet to offset the pedal. So much easier to pedal now.

Re: cable pedal

I used a mid 90's suburban pedal in my 62. Super simple and dirt cheap from the junkyard. Just trimmed the right side down a little, drilled three holes and bent the rod to where I needed it to be.

Re: cable pedal

I used the gas pedal assy from a mid 70's Pontiac. The plastic gas pedal came off a mid 70's Nova. I did have to tweek (bend) the Pontiac gas pedal assy a little to get everything to work correctly. Nothing a vise couldn't handle. I also added the Power brake pedal from a 73 C-10 and next on the list is the stainless trim kit for a Chevelle to finish off the look.
Another item I plan to add is an emergency brake pedal assy from a 72 Caddy so when I drop the truck into gear - Drive or Reverse the parking brake will release automatically. Yep, I'm lazy and forgetful.

Hi rvrfoot, I'm not sure who you were asking, but if it's me, I don't have a firewall cover. I used duplicolor bed liner on the entire floor and firewall then dynamatted it.

There is no rubber cover over the dynamat. That is duplicolor bed liner, then I have dynamat over the bed liner, except for the firewall at the moment.
