Identify this: Accelerator controls off of ???
 
Tearing down my mutt of a 1969 K10 to deal with a flimsy accelerator pedal*. It's definitely not stock, nor in great shape. Anyone know what this is off of? Cross checking LMC catalog it doesn't appear to be off of a Chevy pickup between 1967-1989, but the drawings could be misinterpreted. It is accelerator cable, not rod.

*Pedal was attached to rod by a bent roofing nail, Rod support mount cover plate is plastic and very cracked/cut.

Looks like someone attempted to install the later (71-72) cable style pedal in a early "rod" style truck.......

Thanks all! Does anyone have a pic of one installed? The diagram in LMC truck looks different to me.

So, the mount bracket attachment points are all spaced 2" on center (equilateral triangle).

Thank you for it! Are there any return springs hidden in there or just up at the carburetor?

It's looking like I have the pedal, shaft, and cable off of a 71-72, but it's mounted using the traditional 67-70 bracket.

Looks like my '67 pedal before the rod broke in half inside the "mounting plate". I replaced it with a Lokar pedal & cable setup.

What year did they change the hindge floor mounting, to firewall only? Are there any bolt holes in the floor under pedal?

The 69 was a hinged floor originally. Alas, the floor pan had long since disappeared--along with it the pivot points.

They went to a cable throttle in 1971. The earlier trucks did have a nutplate under the floor that the ball studs screwed into that the pedal snapped onto. 71-2's still have the flat spot in the floor for them, but no holes or nutplate of course.
