Gas pedal modification

1964 f100

I have the carpet and I have to ask, is it possible to put in a gas pedal that doesn’t bolt to the floor?

You may be able to remove the floor pedal and mount a pedal on the rod

Gas pedal

Since you have a 64 I don't know if the 66 an up pedal will work. If it will it is just a bolt in if you can find one. But you can modify your accelerator, if it is similar to the 65. I modified my accelerator and used one from a Mustang in order to get it a little closer to the firewall. It requires some fabrication and welding.

Limited options so I eliminated the cable and went with direct throttle linkage when the 302 was installed. Required drilling opening at the base of the trans hump.

This is the pedal in my 64 with Isuzu diesel conversion.
The pedal was originally out of a Japanese vehicle but I modified it to my preference

Unless you got your negative processed backwards (remember those days?) that looks like a right hand drive with emergency brake handle on far right.

;Back in the less politically correct days we did not call that modified. We called that something else.
