Anyway, if you driver's side motor mount fails, it can actually pin the throttle wide open (if you have the old style shaft operated gas pedal) . Not a huge deal if your daughter has her stuff together, but I have witness it happening. Also, based on the amount of maintenance you are planning to do, i doubt it is an issue.

I worked for a Chevrolet dealer(s) in that time period, and don't remember if the trucks were in that recall. That said, it is certainly something to consider. I have a solid rod going from the bell crank to the throttle lever on my '70 truck, so maybe I should look into a restraint. Though it's a BBC 402 and maybe I'm safe, it being heavy and all.
