Has any one used one? My original pedal rod linkage is pretty trashed. I know that Lokar is a good brand, but pricey. Is there any other brands that I'm not aware of?
I've seen some no-name Lokar knock-offs on e-Bay. I used the Lokar Eliminator. I liked it a lot ! For a little more money though, you could try this spoon type from Clayton Machine Works. This is what they look like in my 37. Val
The Clayton looks nice! Probably too nice for my old truck! I think I will go with the lokar black anodized piece. From what I see your 37 looks nice DVAL.
Good looking pedals you have in your 37 DVAL,kind of like the old tear drop taillights.I have always liked the old tear drop taillights because they look good on almost any classic cars or trucks.
Clayton Machine Works web site is being redone right now otherwise I could have gotten Ya'll a better picture. The throttle pedal is a drilled I-beam that comes with inserts that are carbon fiber or paintable. He is producing some really nice stuff down there in Razor-back country. Val
Hey Jeremy I have a stock pedal rod linkage off that 66 3/4 ton in my spare parts in my garage if your interested I can take pic. of it and post it for you.I will let you have it (FREE) I can bring it to you when we come down on the 21st. just let me know,glad to help a friend.
Thats neet live here didnt even know that.Have to check out the web site after they get it going again.
I ordered the black one from Lokar. I had the steel braided detent, throttle cables with bracket already, so I went with that. Can't wait to get it. I'll post some pics when I get it on the truck. Thank all of you for the offers. Jeremy.
Just got finished installing my Lokar gas pedal with steel braided cables. Its awesome!!! If I would have known, I would have bought one along time ago.
For a cheap setup that works well and doesn't look too bad I use ones off of a ford. The advantages include just needing a round hole in the firewall (GM's take a precise square hole), any clamp near the carb end (square hole again for GM), and best of all a self contained return spring which eliminates the need for a seperate return spring and bracket. The gas pedal is very narrow and pivots, a plus when using in 30's cramped for room cars. It certainly isn't a bolt in with the cable and housing needing shortening and the pedal arm recontoured in most cases but, if you can do that type work then you can have a nice setup for about 10 bucks. Lousy pic but it shows cable housing to firewall with two screws and in the very lower left is the end that snaps onto the carb linkage ball and a few coils of the selfcontained return spring are visible (blue color).
