    Hey Dval, I See You Have A Lokar Setup On Your Carb For The Tv And Throttle Cable. How Did You Go About Changing Your Accelerator From Linkage To A Cable?

    I used a Lokar Eliminator Go Pedal.

    THIS one should work too. I just wanted to keep the firewall as clean as I could.

    Thats Really Nice Looking, I Like The Top One The Best, How Much Mulla Did They Charge You? Thats going to leave me with only one origanal pedal left, does it look ok? I just slide the clutch pedal out of the assembly and left the brake pedal.


    Also, were did you get your carpet, most carpets ive seen dont go as high as yours on the firewall.

    I think they run ablot $90 or so,, check out Summit http://www.summitracing.com

    Well, I thought it looked goofy. So I used a Lokar brake pedal too. Trouble is, Lokar does not make one for our trucks. I picked a Lokar pedal for a 72-76 Chevy truck. The 64 brake pedal pad needs to be trimmed to be able to get the Lokar pedal to fit. Here is the "after"

    Before you ask, the steering wheel is from the Carriage Works,,, and the picture was taken with the wheels turned, so the steering wheel is upside down.

    That was the second carpet I replaced. And, I can't remember where I got it. It was the result of a Google search both times.

    Really great work. From the pic it looks like you got rid of the clunky looking parking brake lever and even preserved the stainless VIN tag. One blast with any kind of media, even soda, and these things are toast or at least crappy looking. Dash is updated without altering original lines. The plating on the factory a/c diffusers looks new and good. I have a hard time getting them plated without getting yellow areas in the corners. Good job.
    Here's a stocker so folks can see just how much you've done.
