67 cab question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have a picture where the throttle pivot mounts on the firewall on a 67? I put a newer cab on mine but do not want to use the cable linkage. The only thing i forgot about.

Not very good pictures of it. If you need better I can take them this weekend.

The bottom of the pedal mounts to the floor, so start there and I think the rest will become obvious. Sorry, no pictures or measurements here. In the GM parts book they list the cab as a replacement part. Since these would be the later design, there is a note instructing to cut that area fro cab being replaced and piece in. But that was just to keep the truck as close to "as built" for collision repairs back when trucks were newish.

A lot of guys including myself went to the trouble of switching a '67 to a factory cable set up. You are wanting to go to a lot of trouble for a negative gain.
Is your engine out? You will need new holes in the firewall and weld the old holes closed.
