Martin,
The aftermarket catalogues I have only show the pedal and linkage rods for 60's trucks, not the assembly.

Thanks | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 1,214 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 1,214 | I'm running an aftermarket pedal setup that uses an OEM throttle cable for a 72 Camaro w/a 350 (21"). The pedal was installed by a previous owner so I'm unsure from whence it came or who made it but it works pretty good. I fit the cable after some trial and error. A 19" or 20" would fit better btw. The pic isn't that good but should give you an idea. I can provide a better pic if needed.

Thanks again for all the info. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,303 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,303 | Be prepared to do some modification of the linkage bracket of the Task Force linkage. It is made to fit the flat Task Force firewall, not the irregular contoured firewall of your '53. I believe that I just used stacks of washers and maybe bent one leg of the bracket on my '49.
