i modifyed my 03 DBW pedel today to bolt in place for my 85 c10 5.3 swap.

DBW electric gas pedal modification.

cut off lower section of orignal truck pedel rod just above spring resting on pedel.

then cut off DBW arm with 3/4" past the center of radius on bottom of radius and dead in the center of top of radius.

then make middle section left look like this . and its 3 1/8" top length give or take . and bottom is 3 1/4" give or take. also it gets fliped over 180* from orignal way it was made. 90* bend over lip now on bottom side.

weld it all up and cool down quick as dont wana melt the DBW guts.

then it will bolt in with stock lower gas pedel hole to DBW lower hole and drill 1 new upper hole and its good to go VROOM . gets pedel about dead center and depth of old place.

yes i did bevel the weld joints before welding as its important.

and make sure before welding on it clears the mounting plate at full throttle. i had to trim before a tiny bit.

also weld on the old gas pedel rod and pad to make it look like it was to be there almost like factory. and pad even floats like before and bottoms out on flex like it did .
