76 highboy kickdown

I am missing everything for my kickdown on my pickup. It’s a 428 cobra jet with c6/np205. Can someone post some pics of what it looks like.

You're going to have to look over the 360 and 390 linkage set ups and make something work from that. What carb are you using?

Am using a 670 street avenger. I bought the kick down extension a long time ago but I can’t find the rod like in the pic in my parts pile

I installed a Lokar cable kickdown setup once for I believe around $75? It was easy and works good.

I would say any 73-77.5 highboy with an FE C-6 combo should work. Also I believe there are aftermarket cable set ups that will work also.
Edit: I can't think of any reason why any truck FE C-6 combo wouldn't work because the distance between the C'6 and the carb is a constant the only variable is the fire wall

It looks like this outfit makes a reproduction but a bit pricey. http://www.kickdownrods.com/shop/196...n-kickdown-rod
If you use the info from that lihk above as far as years and motors and place it in the want section of the forum as well as try those advertising selling 73-79 parts I'm sure you could come up with one cheaper.
