options for gas pedal and throttle cable

[YOLO]

I put in a 350/350 in my 64 c10. A guy I work with says to use an early 90's suburban gas pedal and throttle cable. What do you think is a good option?

I used a 72 c10 one.

This link: http://www.persh.org/pickup/CableThrottle.htm inspired me.

I used a pedal and cable assembly from around a 76 or so chevy, and it was only about a 2 hour project

Firewall mounted Lokar gas pedal and matching cable. I also added a matching brake pedal. I did weld in a flat spacer to mount it to, I used a chunk of a old bed rail to make it from.

Anyone know where to get a complete new assembly for a 73-87 truck- or even a 67-72? I want to do this swap as well. I have a matching one to dodgiesdad's but mine has bent and looks ugly after several years of use.

What year is you truck? and did you need to do any modifications to get that break peddle to work? I could not find a break peddle for my 62 on the Lokar sight.

First, I was concerned with an aluminum pedal so I went with the chrome plated steel version, I sure hope it lasts more than a few years. As to the brake pedal I cut off the factory curved pedal and welded a small piece of flat stock in its place to give me somewhere to bolt the new pedal to.

I wish I could remember exactly what all I used in my conversion - but if I remember correctly I used the throttle cable from a 73 C-10, the throttle mount assembly came from a 75 Pontiac and the plastic gas pedal came from a 72 Nova. I had to do a lot of heating & bending to get the pedal bracket the way I wanted. I couldn't find a 72 C-10 gas pedal assembly at the time. I also even got a little more carried away I cut the brake pedal pad mount off the 73 C-10 and welded it to my 64 brake pedal arm.
