I was wondering what options I have?? I already spliced and modified the stock truck pedal and it looks "ok" but I am concerned about the tension in the pedal since it has a shorter throw....basically fatigue from pushing down on it.

I may be able to install a spring with less tension, but that is a last resort.

Honestly I would rather replace it with either another pedal or an aftermarket pedal like lokar.....but I don't think anything is being made for this year, everything i have seen is for like 2006 and 2007 engines.

The corvette 1997-2002 pedal would have been perfect fit wise....but it won't work

Help or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I used the truck pedal and it works great. I wouldn't worry about spring tension. My pedal feels just like it did with the cable on BBC with carb.

I have a truck pedal in my 1971 El Camino. I chopped about 3 inches out of it I think. Still not to hard to push. No more then my factory cable pedal that's for sure. Its softer. I wouldn't be to worried about the extra tension. The pedals are made to jam your foot down on. I know I'm not real gentle with mine and I've never heard anyone say they had a pedal fail.

I used a truck pedal that I hacked all but about 3" off of for my Mustang and pedal feel is fine.

I used an 03 vette pedal welded to a steel plate for mounting, also welded on the original gas pedal. Then added the truck sensor to it. It was easier to mod then the truck pedal. It went it to a 2000 GMC Jimmy.
