*************************


I'm trying to gauge interest in a bolt in pedal bracket that uses the 98-06 truck/SUV DBW pedal for the 67-72 conversions. This engine/pedal combination seems to be the most commmon one used. I know guys usually try to modify their pedal or firewall, but it seems like most people just want something that will bolt in. I have a prototype built to that will allow you to do this with minimal effort and was wondering how much demand there might be for thisproduct?

Here's a thread I have for another bracket that I built that will allow the Gen IV truck motor guys to swap to a 05 + Corvette DBW Pedal:

Let me know what you think. TIA.

Hey Rob,
did you ever find out if it will work in the square body trucks?

[zacthrasher]

All - here's a couple pictures of the truck pedal and bracket mounted. I also included a picture of the 05+ Corvette pedal setup that I have in my gold 68 for the Gen IV motors. As you can see, the pedal location is very similar. Let me know what you think.

I'd possibly be interested as well. Price, of course, will be the determining factor

[Mikecc6]

Would it work for a '66?

[lowlyfec10]

hmm, interested in price. was thinking about just cutting the bend out of the pedal and fabbing up a simple adapter plate using the factory pedal holes.

I'm talking to a metal shop today. Hopefully I'll have a price by this evening.

I'm not sure. Can you post a couple of pictures of your firewall?

My bracket uses the three factory gas pedal holes as mounting points. It's not simple to build, but it is simple to mount .

Would this not work for an 07 5.3?

Post some pictures of your pedal.

As soon as Im on leave I'll take a picture. I'm in korea and I have been collecting parts since I've been here. I haven't seen any of what I've bought so far.

No worries. If it's the pedal I'm thinking of, you should be able to switch to the Corvette Pedal and use my other bracket.

I am out of town for work. I will take some pics when I get back home. Thanks

No worries, post them when you get a chance.

I dropped my template off at the machine shop. The guy working on this for me suggested making them out of a solid piece of metal and braking them in 2 places instead of welding 3 pieces together. He's going to work me up a quote, but he said it will probably be around $60 apiece. Let me know if you guys think this is worth pursuing and thanks again for your interest.

In post #8 is that a late model plactic truck pedal? If so how did you ge that early top part with the chrome trim to stick to the late model. Also can you get a side view from the brake pedal side just to see how far the gas pedal is from the floor. Maybe a measurement would be great also. I just want to compare to my set up thanks.

No that's a 98-06 truck pedal that has a 71-72 rubber pedal pad on it. You can easily swap the two pedals out. Here's some pics of the one in my suburban. I'll have to wait until I get the new bracket back to take some side pictures. But here are some pictures of the one in my Suburban that is in about the same location.

Ok guys. I got the prototype back from the machine shop. I still need to add a couple of holes to it but this is pretty close. Here are some pictures of the bracket and how it will look mounted. I also included a couple of side shots so you can see how it is mounted in relation to the brake pedal. I should be able to sell these for around $60 shipped, if I order them in batches of 10 AND if they will fit in a USPS flat-rate box. Please give me some feedback on what you think so I can decide if I need to proceed any further.

[jessemthompson]

I have to check my pedal while on home on leave next month. If it works, I am definitely in for one.

Looks good Rob, I hope you get one for the Squarebody!
