floor mount gas pedal
hi I am looking for some type of car that I can get a gas pedle out of that pulls the cable from out side the cab now I know lokar makes a relly nice one but It is very expensive and quitefrankly I dont really care all that much about how pretty my gas pedal is as long as works the way I want it to so I was wondering if any one knows a car I could find one on in an old car of some sort. the reason I want one like this is because in a 51 chevy pickup the floor is really open and it just looks ugly as sh*t with it pulling from inside and I would have to cut a hole In my nice smooth clean firewall witch I really dont want to do you know were Im comming from. If any one could help me out with some suggestions or tell me a company that makes lokar ripoffs that would be great thanks

Chevy, I don't know of any other that will work as well or looks as neat as the Lokar. I used this set-up in my 55, but I'll have to change things around now, since a new "dog house" is being fabricated. The hole for the cable lever is completely covered by the pedal assembly, so no hole in the firewall is necessary. I know it's a little "pricey", but the time & effort spent trying to fabricate something that looks as good & performs as well, isn't worth it...in my opinion.

Mr Gasket a dn TD perfperformance makes the also. I don't think they look near as good as the lokar( I used to sell all three) but they are much less expensive. And you do get what you pay for.Can you rebuild a Qjet without breaking a nail?

Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
