DBC Gas Pedal Options

Recently got my 5.3 Vortec installed and running. First crank and she fired up, what a relief! Next step is the gas pedal, since I have a DBC engine and a 70 C10 I'll have to replace the pedal it currently has.

What are my options?
  • 71 - 72 pedal?
  • Aftermarket pedal (part number)?
  • Modify exitsing?

Re: DBC Gas Pedal Options

I'm using an 04 yukon pedal. Flat sheet out of the factory holes, drill and tap for the DBC pedal, chop the DBC and Factory pedal in half and weld 'em up. et 'voila!

Re: DBC Gas Pedal Options

I used the stock pedal on my '72 Chevy with a mountain bike brake cable for the cable.

Re: DBC Gas Pedal Options

Lokar makes a nice accelerator pedal that'll bolt right up...

Thanks for the link, a little high priced for the pedal so I think I'm going to hit the part yard soon and try and find a later model pedal.

Re: DBC Gas Pedal Options

I used the LFD 71/72 pedal adapter:

With LS1Nova's cheap throttle cable solution:

None in the cab, but here is the bracket I made to attach the cable at the throttle end as the manifold setup was originally DBW.
