I guess this thread never took off? I'd like some suggestions on which throttle pedal to use. The one I have in my '52 (pickup) is too close to the floor and I drive with my right leg bent. It's not comfortable. I had one in a '50 that I got out of a Geo or something. It was easy to adjust and work with. I may just look for another one of those.
Any suggestions?

I used the pedals from a 96 roadmaster I put the brake pedal 7" off the floor after measuring other cars and trucks that seems to be the average height off the floor I then lined the gas pedal up close to that. I don't have a picture of the gas pedal after I mounted in these photos it is just setting there. Also I added a piece of 2" square tubing under the gas pedal to get it to set off the floor enough. I don't have the seat mounted yet so I am not sure of any problems.

Thanks for the reply. I may just need to ramble around in the pull-a-part yard to find what I need. That usually works...
