Was reading Mike Burns thread on the gas pedal rod and went out to my truck to view my setup and discovered that either I or someone, a long time ago shortened the length. So my question is when installing a '63 235 into a 49-54 truck does the stock 216 accelerator rod need to be shortened because the 235 is longer than a 216? My 235 came out of my '53, which I'm sure originally had a 216 way before I bought it. So I assume this modified pedal rod was already shortened during it's life in the '53. Then when my Front oak tree came down and crushed the '53, I bought the '50 and transferred the entire drivetrain from the '53 to the '50.
Below is a pic of my pedal rod which was shortened.
