WTB-Hand Throttle Assembly 71/72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**CPNE** · 09-10-2003, 01:54 PM

This is the hand throttle that is on the dash bezel. Must be complete and correct for 71/72. Sorry, 67-70 assemblies won't work. Thanks in advance.

**smitty62** · 09-10-2003, 02:41 PM

Jeff, I've got one but I don't know what year it is--how can I tell?

**CPNE** · 09-10-2003, 02:57 PM

This is the 67-70 style I do not want. The 71/72 is very similar, except it's shorter and there is a bracket that bolts to the pedal assembly bracket inside the cab. The style pictured passes thru the firewall and attaches to the pedal rod assembly to carb.

dubie · 09-10-2003, 03:07 PM

hmmm my 72 throttle cable didn't have the plate, it just clamped onto a support brace uder the dash. And the handle was chrome in color, not black. Now I wonder what year mine was

Guess I can't help--pic is what I have----------

i dont understand. you can control the throttle by the knob instead of gas pedal?

1969 GMC · 09-11-2003, 01:51 AM

this allows you to set the engine idle speed faster in cab, so you can run things off a pto...like a winch or snowplow.

**1970cstblazer** · 09-11-2003, 11:24 AM

Its a po mans cruise control.

**CPNE** · 09-12-2003, 10:06 AM

I'm not looking for tow hooks here. Someone's got one

palallin · 09-12-2003, 10:31 AM

Sorry, Jeff: mine's the earlier one. I wish I'd gotten the one in the St. Louis junkyard last November. . . .

Piper71c10 · 09-12-2003, 12:46 PM

I've got one Jeff. You want the whole pedal assy with it too? I'll try to take a pic tonight (I'm working a 12hr day today) and post it tommorow.

Piper

**CPNE** · 09-12-2003, 12:54 PM

yes pedal assembly too if bracket attaching cable to that assembly is integrated with it. Can you take a pic? Thanks

Piper71c10 · 09-12-2003, 01:14 PM

This is the pic of it when I bought it off ebay last month

Piper71c10 · 09-12-2003, 01:15 PM

trying again

**CPNE** · 09-12-2003, 01:20 PM

Is the knob, attaching hardware, and "Thottle" tag plate with it too, because that's definately the 71/72 style I'm looking for.

How come you're selling if you bought it recently, and how much shipped to 03580?

Piper71c10 · 09-12-2003, 01:26 PM

There is no Knob. I'd have to go home and look if the attaching hardware is there. The Throttle tag plate is present.

I decided not to use it. I'll give it up for $35 total. I'll pay shipping out of that.

Piper

**CPNE** · 09-12-2003, 01:34 PM

Is knob post threaded for a screw-on type knob like the choke knob, or does it have a flat edge for a set screw like the wiper knob? I'm interested if all hardware to attach to dash and pedal is there. Thanks

Piper71c10 · 09-12-2003, 01:37 PM

I'll get back to you tonight or tommorow.

Piper

Piper71c10 · 09-14-2003, 04:41 PM

Cpne-
Send my your shipping address. I'll mail the part out monday, and you can decide if you like it or not.

Piper!
