Well here is an update

I didn't get out to the shop till late (again), but I did get some stuff done

I wanted to convert my truck to cable throttle instead of the old linkage stuff
At first I was just gonna buy one of Jegs throttle plate thingys (till I found out that they're $80 bucks

) so today I decided to make one

I took a sheet of steel sheet that I had lay'n around & took the throttle mount thingy from a 73 parts truck that has a BOP engine in it

Anywho you get the picture, So now I have to figure out how to convert it to swing-pedal

I have to get a new trans mount, then I can finish my custom X-member
