You know the knowledge base here never ceases to amaze me. There are several of you guys that should put this together in a book. I would buy it for sure.

I feel like such a amature here, and just love to read about all the information you guys have to offer. I have been around my truck since my grandfather bought it in 65 and it still blows me away how much I don't know...


Thanks gentlemen and keep up the great work..

jd...I have thought seriously about it....between several of us we could make one hum dinger of a book....The books I have and have seen out there are so linited in the intricate year by year changes,choices, etc.
But i would feel neglectful if such a book werent written to include the long neglected 57-60 trucks as it seems they are finally getting their way long overdue appreciation by collectors and truck enthusiasts in general.

When I look in Mac's Trucks catalog it shows the suspended type as being the same for all 65-66 after serial #696,001. My type pedal lists as 61-63 before serial #380,001. At least the one in the picture looks like mine. The listings are strange like something is being left out. Maybe mine is something different that was only used in 65-66 before serial #696,001. I can probably contact them and find out.

I think the six's used the floor mount and the eights used the suspended type...My friends 66 eight has the suspended job.

Sounds like jowilker may know something about this.....

Catalogs can have mistakes in them as well. Don't get overly concerned about it.

We set you straight here.

John, will the pedal listed for 61-63 work for my 65? Again the picture looks the same as mine. 2 bolts on the bottom mount the pedal to the floor.

The 1965 V8 and I6 have the same gass pedal and it mounts to the floor. Barry will probally know if the 61-63 will fit.
