Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...

Yep. I think that's what I need instead of the handmade job on my firewall. I have the pedal assembly, with the LFD bracket in there now.
This is what I just posted--besides the WTB ad:

Are any of you running a straight six with a throttle cable (not a rod) in your 71/72?
I've got a '69. We swapped the rod for a 2wd V8 cable with a handmade bracket mounted on the firewall, and the 71/71 pedal with the LFD bracket. The loop it has is minor, but the cable, even lubed, is VERY hard to push/pull--due to the loop, I'm sure. I was going to switch back to the rod, but I got a universal Lokar cable which I can cut much shorter than the stock one to remove the unnecessary tight loop. It will be very short since the bracket we made is on the firewall.
I'd like to know, or see, what the throttle bracket setup is which the 71/72 trucks used. Where it mounted--on the carb? Motor? Maybe I could get my hands on the factory bracket, or similar and get rid of the cobbled together pos that my buddy made.
Thanks
