The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Accelerator pedal for 34 1.5 ton

Can anyone tell me where I can find a pedal for the 34 1.5 ton truck,? What did they use? Filling station did not have any showing.

Thanks Carl

Trucks from 1929 thru 1940 used a 1-1/2" round steel "button" with a 1/4-28 thread connected to the accelotator rod. There are some exclusions like COE's in the late 30's.

Thank you for the info. Do you know where I could find this steel button at.

Thank you
Carl

Glad someone knew the answer. Mine has the round knob but the 38's I've seen restored had a pedal similiar to the one in Jim Carters catalog for later models. I hadn't seen anywhere it seemed to attach to floor. Maybe folks didn't realize there was no pedal originally. MY33 on the 38 there is a grommet in the metal floor where the accelorator rod comes thru then the knob screws on the end of rod. Does your 33 have the wooden floor?

MY33,

Have you placed a "Wanted" ad in the classified section here on the Stovebolt? You never know what other Bolters have laying around...

You could make one fairly easy...cut a 1-1/2" circle out of a piece of 1/4" plate and weld a 1/4-28 nut to the back, round over the edge on the front side, cut a checker board pattern on the front with a hack saw as anit skid and paint it black. This will get you by until you find the correct button.

I thank you for your replies. I will end up making one as you stated and will put a wanted ad on the classified section.

Thanks all for the info.

Regards Carl

Oh forgot to state that I do have a wood floor on this truck. It has a curved rod coming up from the floor whick I will look at to see if it is treaded so I can install the hand made one until I get the correct on.

I have a pedal out of a 1955.1 COE F353 if you want it. [email protected]
