had to get a chuckle or two.
I did make a run early this AM and yanked the one from the 76 dent. There was a minimal length difference, but since both were similarly equipped, I yanked the linkage as well (had to pull the ball off the carb link as well since it was a little smaller than my old one) and it worked fine. In fact the geometry is better now. Looking at my 73 dent, which had a 6, there was a major difference. My thinking is that it's about the differently equipped trucks making major differences.
I did however swap the actual pedal pads back. The dent's was all plastic and I wanted to keep my metal backed original.
The only real difference I found is that the dent pedal pad was pinned on rather than bolted like my bump so I'll be tapping the hole in the rod at work 2maro so I can go back with my original bolt rather than the tractor pin that I have in there right now.
OK, so if anyone wishes to know.
I looked over all the dents and bumps out there at the farm and the differences above were the only ones I saw. I didn't see a single dent throttle pedal assembly that wouldn't work on a similarly equipped bump.
Now for the good news. On the way back, my MC blew it's chance at remaining in my truck by blowing the shaft seal. Got a nice soupy mess in the floor pan and my parts trucks are the other way.
I'd rather put new back anyway. Oh and guess what.... my 3 parts trucks, and a neighbor's 20 or so and not ONE single brake booster equipped truck.
