Another place to look is old trolling boat motors had these type pedals and of course big rigs like peterbuilt etc..

 

Wow!! I have been looking for one of these pedals and never new there was so many to pick from. Question is, how many are still being made?

 

Uh..yeah right, sure you can.........

 

what would the left foot have controled? Got one from an old speed shop and debated modifying it to be usable as a gas pedal

 

Probably just a foot rest.

 

thats out of a jet boat..had one just like it in a Go fast boat..cable pull

 

Damn Kev. I hate you. Not really. Nice collection. Yeah, I hate you.

 

Looks like Moon Pedals arrived on the scene in 1956. Here is a press release from June 1956 Hot Rod mag'.......



And an ad from August 1956 Hot Rod mag.....

 

fitzee...Still being made are Moon (several versions), Ansen, Speedway and the 5 toe foot pedals and dimmer pedals. Maybe others.

Here is a drilled out PAL pedal being used in a race car in 1953....

 

Good stuff Kev and a great story on you in the latest NZ Hot Rod Magazine to boot.

 

I see some boat pedals, wondering if any of the big truck pedals were ever used. Some old Mack trucks have cool pedals.

 

Anybody ever seen one of these?

 

kev i had a moon pedal like the one in the center.a young rodder in my village asked to buy it off me everytime he came to my garage,and i allways said no,well a few years ago he died and he was buried with that pedal under his right foot,his parents thought that was cool,as soon as i saw this thread i thought of him,thanks

 

dang,,,, that was a really cool thing of you to do.....

 

That pedal has my name on it..Literally

 

This has to be worth 5mph!

 

I just found this site...nice collection, I think i spoke to you at the chrr. The pedals are being repoed. Call Bill Klein he has my Lyndwood and he has the Number of the guy making them. 703 590-3132. Check out the new copy of Hot Rod Deluxe...page 20, almost looks like your picture....Bob Bilbow 570 823-0049

 

Hi Bob,

I'd be that guy that has been reproducing the dash, pedal and shocks for the last ten years or so. (Actually the dash came from our buddy Bob.) Bill's trip to Calif. caused a surge in sales. I have plenty of shocks and pedals but sold out of dashes (seems they fit nice in a Junior Dragster ). I'll have a dozen more dashes in a couple of weeks when we get back from Hawaii.

Later,

Got a Hydra-link in the "new" dragster. Todd
