autonut Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Why is it when trying to find a accelerator pedal that uses ball studs for the bottom hinge, I get hit after hit for the ball stud but none for the pedal?? Tried to search different ways but always the same. Doesn't anyone produce a pedal that has ball sockets to fit into the ball studs? Has anyone had a similar problem?

michealbernal Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I know the Dodge trucks from the mid to late 40s used ball studs for the bottom hinge point. The top hinge point is a ball on the end of the accelerator rod. I think that Roberts Motor Parts carries these pedals as reproductions because I bought one from them for my 1947 Dodge truck..

Larry Schramm Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Look at I think mid 50's Chevy's or maybe later. I remember having those type of gas pedals on some of my parents cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 There are wide variations, and not just any pedal will work. There used to be some on ebay with a bunch of different ball sockets to fit several types of cars, but I haven't seen those lately. You probably need to go by make and model. Steele rubber can re-mold some of them if you have the old pedal for them to salvage the core out of. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Plymouth cars used ball studs on the gas pedal from at least 1933 through 1948. Probably longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
