Is there a kit somewhere that works easily? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I suppose you can fab one up but I bit the bullet and bought an after market that had the foot pedal, wire and connectors. With the 327 you should be able to mount the gas pedal and pretty much come out in a straight line to the carb. I think mine was made by Lokar.....or maybe I bought the linkage as a package and then the gas pedal of choice. Still, not a bad job. Clean and neat looking. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 | Has anyone used a Task Force pedal/linkage which came on V8 trucks?

The contour of one of the mounting points doesn't match up with the my firewall very well, but can be made to work. I haven't put a pedal on as of yet.

It hooked up with no issues and seems to work just fine. Heck, the holes for the bolts were already there. I used my original gas pedal also. I have an extra that I'll sell, it needs sand blasting and painted and the hardware.

Had to modify the short rod that goes through the floor the just a little, but works nice. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 | Roy, where did you get the kit? Was it a straight up TF part, or was it designed for an AD?

The linkage I put in my truck came off a 1956 1 ton truck with a 265 in it. The spare I have came off a 1959 3600 with a 283,
