I've never been a huge fan of body swapped vehicles... What I can appreciate is your meticulous fabrication skills. Possibly because I see your style to be very similar to my own. When it comes to pedal placement , it's different if you're building the vehicle for yourself or a potential customer. If you have no intention of keeping the vehicle the pedals have to be in a generic location that feels like it came from the factory that way. When I'm building a car for myself I make the pedals fit me and my size 12 work boots. I almost hit another vehicle driving my Suzuki with 44 inch tires. Somehow my left foot got hung up in the steering column and at the same time stopped the brake pedal from moving. One of those things I could never replicate in a million years. However, it made me put a lot more thought into proper pedal location for my own personal vehicles. Keep doing what your doing mate. I really like how this is going together. Very nice work. At the end of the day, you build it whatever way works for you. I'm not one of those guy's "you should do this, you should do that." Do it however you want. Your truck, your time, your money. I don't get why people have to chime in "If I was building it I would do this,,,," I have nothing invested in your truck so I have zero input for what you should or shouldn't do. And that's the way it should be. If you ask for my opinion that's a different story. Until then I will just give you some encouragement that helps people stay motivated. Cheers mate.
I thought about it and you didn't have to cut it, you could have made a bracket to go higher on the fire wall, or get a 3d printed option with the right angle and configuration
Curious if you considered fabricating a pedestal / box thingamajig attached to the firewall that would have positioned the pedal at the correct angle and fore/ aft position thereby not requiring any modifications to the pedal?
At 7:59 you need about 1/4”-3/8” gap between the brake pedal and the metal bar for your runner pedal cover to fit without cutting it At 18:29 a wad of play dough or plumbers putty on one side holding gas pedal to the throttle assembly can hold it steady until you take it to the bench to fabricate the two together At 23:00 I LOVE your bench “band saw” that is incredible. I have to copy your idea. Do you have a TH-cam build video?
@ Great solution, Mom used to say “Necessity is the Mother of Invention “ We build a lot of projects that are definitely not Necessary but to finish said project we have a lot of necessities. Had a older Kenworth Cab mounted on an 80s F150 Chassis. Kinda miss that truck. I called it my Stupid Truck. (But it was fun driving through town. Currently building a C50 into an extended bed pickup for Stupid Truck II. You now have me convinced I need a tig welder, appears to have much better control over mig welding. Your brake pedal looks stronger than my trailer hitch. You must of used permanent markers instead of crayons growing up😀
I'm loving this build, but I feel you are not going to like the go-pedal the way you have modified it. They are engineered for comfort. Not only where you foot hits it, but pressure to press it over a long time. Cutting out a few inches of it's length is going to mean the tension will be greater and fatigue will be a fast issue. I'd suggest before taking pedals out of the next vehicle, make a template of where they sit in relation to the seat. Car designers spend millions doing their best to get this right. I truly thought you would have put your sheet metal magic into building a wedge from the firewall to the pedal assembly. Who knows, you may still!! ;)
I have an odd question, So the gas pedal is designed to return with a plastic arm hanging off of it. But you built a pretty heavy duty metal cage around it. Couldn't this cause problems with return on the throttle do to adding that much weight?
@@SixPackDan The spring in this pedal assembly is very strong. The metal weight is pretty insignificant. It's probably a bit harder to push due to the lever being shorter. If it were a cable throttle going to a carburetor, I'd say it would potentially pose a problem.
That was my option, I haven't officially mounted it and may adjust it over some after I the seat is mounted. I put it where it felt comfortable. Limited space in the foot area due to the engine cover.
My 1935 Aston Martin Ulster has a unique pedal arrangement, where the brake pedal is located to the right of the accelerator. They did change it mid year to what today we call standard. His is not so much to the center as you think, remember he still needs a center hump.
@SixPackDan Wow! That would be crazy to drive. I have a 1932 Auburn Coupe. It has some interesting levers and features, but nothing that crazy! Back then, they were testing so many new ideas on cars!
First, the brake pedal should be almost in - line with the steering column & the accelerator pedal to the right of the column. I understand you have space constraints, but this is going to make for a very unnatural driving experience. More like a go-cart that a Loadstar. Second, why didn't you just build a mount to suite your needs rather than cut apart the accelerator pedal? This is a wearable part. What is the future owner supposed to do when it needs replacing?
I've driven a lot of different vehicles with different pedal positions from ferraris and lamborghini's to fuso box trucks and rat rods. I feel confident in the safety of the positioning of these pedals. Ideal and perfect aren't always the option. This is ment to be safe and fun, not perfect. I do appreciate your insight on the pedals. 😀
@stealthbuilt1 Classic Mini pedals are way off center (as well as the column) and they drive just fine. I'm sure this will work great. Loving the build so far!
It’s really helpful to see your solutions to the pedal fabrication etc. Thanks 😊

Your attention to detail is really good, nicely done
@mikethompson1316 Thanks Mike!
Truck is really coming together, gonna be a fun ride when its done.
@@HitokiriRaiden Thanks! I appreciate that!
Nice engineering/fab work man. A bit of overkill but that is much better than the opposite.
@@mattjanzen86 Thanks, that's what I'm thinking!
This truck is so cool
@@JeronWhite Thanks!
This was cool. Looks like it is coming along nicely.
@@ChevyARt15 Thanks for watching!
Nice pedals. Probably better than anything you could buy

Nice job man… loving how you explain and show just what you’re doing. Keep it up and can’t wait for the Audi content . 😉👌🏼🇦🇺

I’m really enjoying your content. Good stuff!
@@NINrod_M Thank you.
Nice going, happy new year
@@peterouellette3874 Happy new year!
Ahh, finally....You are ready to put the pedal to the metal.
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals Almost! Thanks for watching!

@@MauriceMarshall-br2uy ok.
Belated merry Christmas and happy new year brother awesome progress brother prayers for blessings overflowing in this new year 🙏🏾 brother
@@robertstevison1448 Thank you and the same to you!!
That should work OK.
PSI makes a gas pedal swap for a c10, may workout better.
Curious if you considered fabricating a pedestal / box thingamajig attached to the firewall that would have positioned the pedal at the correct angle and fore/ aft position thereby not requiring any modifications to the pedal?
Yes, I figured I'd test this and if it doesn't work to my liking, I'll just get another pedal. Thanks for watching!
I’ve installed a few of these and that’s what I’ve always done. For serviceability you’re always better off not modifying the part
At 7:59 you need about 1/4”-3/8” gap between the brake pedal and the metal bar for your runner pedal cover to fit without cutting it

@@c50ge You aren't wrong. I'm planning to dip this pedal for a pad since I modified the shape slightly. Thanks for watching!

@@SteveP-vm1uc You could be right. A bit of testing will definitely be the key!
How hard you think you're gonna be slamming on that pedal 😂.. nice work. better safe then sorry

Part 6 how to over engineer a fn gas petal.. son of ah ! Poof I’m gone.
Sorry, people were asking for more in depth videos. That and the holidays made for a smaller portion of the build to be completed in this video.
In all cars, the gas pedal is located to the right of the steering column! Why shove it in the middle?
That was my option, I haven't officially mounted it and may adjust it over some after I the seat is mounted. I put it where it felt comfortable. Limited space in the foot area due to the engine cover.

Does translation work in my other videos?
@stealthbuilt1 ok yes
I couldn't help but notice a pattern on this channel; everything you build here on StelthBuilt is very over built!
I just build it as I see it. You are probably right about most of it! Thanks for watching!
