Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

Accelerator pedal update. Much better location. I moved it closer to the firewall, down a bit, and further away from the brake pedal. Used my other car as a gauge on where the pedals should naturally be.

Before:


After:


Moved onto some other smaller parts yesterday. Figuring out a parking brake solution since the stock one isn't going to work with the S10 brake cable. I've accepted the fact that I'll be attaching the S10 park brake to the drivers side kick panel somehow. Thinking of just welding a couple of bolts to the sheet metal for attaching the brake pedal.

I also tried getting the speedo to work and noticed the S10 speedo cable doesn't actually fit on the original gauges. Looks like the S10 is sort of a press fit attachment and the 49 chevy had a screw on style. Does anyone know what cable I should look for to connect to a 700r4? Also, do I need to drain the trans fluid to change the cable out?
