Question - the accelerator pedal pivots at the bottom end, with a pin the goes through a yoke attached to the toe board and a matching yoke attached to the pedal. How can I find a replacement for this pin?

I live in Gilbert Arizona. We have a number of them around us. I find almost every kind of fastener or special sized part, for my 53 3100 there. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

I had a 7" 5/16 bolt, threaded only 1' on the end - perfect fit to the holes in the pedal and toe board. Ground one side of the hex head flat to the bolt shaft so that it would fit up under the pedal. Then the hard part - drilling a hole through the shaft for a cotter pin. Cut off the excess length and works great.
And yes, we even have an Ace WAY down south of you in Hereford, AZ. This truck has led my knowing where every fastener in there inventory is located.

But, it does sound like the best way to go for your situation. Glad you got it fixed and are back on the road. If you ever find yourself in the Gilbert area, please look me up. Would like to meet you and talk AD trucks.
