Gas pedal linkage rod

[Jordan Baker]

Hi all

Is this the correct gas pedal linkage rod? My truck is a cab13 C15a

[Grant Bowker]

It looks the right general size and shape but I've seen so many "linkage by Bubba" that I won't guarantee what is the only "original, correct" setup.
Are you asking because the link may look a bit long for the spacing between the holes on the pedal arm and the cross-engine arm? If so, is there any adjustment in the vertical rod to the carburetor to allow the pedal in the place you need when at idle?

[Jordan Baker]

It was found in the milk crate of odds and ends. The one that originally came with my truck was a poorly made one from various bits of scrap. So was the linkage assembly on the engine.

I’ll give it a try and see how it goes. The only adjustment on my linkages is on the left side of the engine.

How much travel should the gas pedal have?

I've got one of those laying around but all three of my trucks are adjustable and LWD sells the adjustable one

[Harry Moon]

so it fully opens the carburator. Easier to adjust before you install the radiator or front clip.

Hi Jordan

One of my trucks has a link like this, the other if I remember correctly has an adjustable link at that location.

One thing is critical is that you have the spring loaded override link on the other side. The problem being that either you don't get full throattle or when you put the peddle to the metal the linkage tries to push the carb past full throattle which may bend or break the carb.
