71-72 GM P/U Throttle Pedal

The 71-72 GM P/U throttle pedal is an essential mechanical component for classic Chevrolet and GMC pickup owners restoring or rebuilding their first-generation C10 and K10 trucks. This original-equipment-style pedal assembly serves as the direct mechanical interface between driver input and engine throttle control, making it critical for responsive throttle feel and reliable acceleration. Whether you're performing a frame-off restoration or replacing a worn pedal mechanism, sourcing an authentic throttle pedal that matches OEM specifications ensures proper fitment.

This throttle pedal assembly features a traditional cable-actuated design that connects directly to the carburetor, translating foot pressure into precise throttle opening. The pedal bracket mounts securely to the factory floor pan mounting points beneath the dash, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle's original design. The compact footprint—measuring 4.9 x 3.8 x 15.2 inches—fits the tight underdash space of early-70s GM trucks without interference with brake or clutch pedals.

Mechanics and restoration specialists working on 1971–1972 Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks will find this pedal assembly indispensable for throttle system overhauls. At 1.72 lbs, the assembly remains lightweight while providing the rigidity necessary to handle daily driving demands and repeated throttle cycling. This product is designed specifically for C10 and K10 models, ensuring a period-correct operation for classic truck enthusiasts.
