Gas pedal

My gas pedal rattles and annoys the heck out of me. Can't find a bushing or whatever id used to hold it in place. Any advice? Thanks.

The pedal is held on my a through-screw. There was a year split IIRC, the early rigs had a tension spring to take out the floppiness.

The screw:


The spring or some facsimile thereof. There is a horizontal part that tucks up and braces against the pedal pad... See it? :

Weird. My pedal only has a stud through it. Guess it's time to get creative with a fix.

According to ND, the later models didn't come with the tension spring. It seems easy enough to retrofit. Put it on your list next time ya head to the wrecking yard.
