Guys my 59 Apache only has the gas pedal extender no pad nor the metal part which u step on (hope you guys follow my terrible description) I want to put some updated pedals but dont know what to do about the gas pedal without replacing the entire part. Do i weld a piece of metal unto the narrow gas pedal piece or what suggestions do you have

it is a 'terrible description' grin
your gas pedal should be a rubber covered plate attached to the floor at the heel, with a ball-end rod thru the toeboard, that clips into a socket under the pedal, like the top piece of this V8 linkage - [which is maybe what you need]

if someone changed it to a later style that mounts higher, pivots inside the firewall, and has a 'spoon shaped' end, you may still be able to fit an original pedal, otherwise check the wreckers for 67+ ones

Can I change that black rubber pad to a more updated pad perhaps chrome or some performance type pad? Or am I stuck with that lonely black pad?

prolly find something that'd fit if you look around at hot rod suppliers, anything is possible
