Throttle linkage help please
I'm making some repairs to my messed up throttle linkage on my '46 1/2 ton and need two measurements to verify I'm doing it correctly. One measurement I need is the distance from the lower tip of the spoon pedal to the top of the transmission cover with the throttle in it's closed (at rest) position. Other measurement I need is the distance from the lower tip of the spoon pedal to the top of the transmission cover with the throttle in it's fully open (floored) position. I'd really appreciate it if someone could check their truck and provide these measurements.

I'm not certain if they are all the same, but it would seem reasonable to me they most likely are. Getting some numbers to start with would be what I need. My concern is getting the pedal in the right position after having fabricated a new shaft. I want it back the way Henry intended it to be.
Thanks for your help
