The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk clutch pedal and accelerator problems

Ok, My friend,and I are about to buy a 65 C10 with a inline 6 in it at the moment. It has been sitting for 23+ years, and the pedals were stuck. So I stomped on the clutch pedal, and it busted loose, and went straight to the floor. I looked, and I dont see any linkage, cable, or anything else hooked to the pedal, and i didn't see a hole for the linkage to go. Where is it at? The accelerator is also stuck, and it will either have to be taken off and lubed, or replaced more likely. Can anyone tell me where to find this stuff? Thanks.

The clutch has a shaft that goes across to the other side of steering column & has a rod that goes down through the floor. Spray all the linkage with penatrating oil & work the pedal back & forth till it frees up. The throttle may be stuck in the carb. Spray it down with carb. cleaner.

Thanks, i think that is the problem with the accelarator, but i did not see anything connected to that clutch pedal. i will look again, when i get the truck which might be tomorrow, or monday.
