I would like to see a photo of a 1936 low cab toeboard and firewall. I am replacing the push starter rod in my GMC and I believe that the hole for the Chevrolet throttle linkage is what is used for my push starter rod. Any help is appreciated!

Somewhat, I have ordered a throttle rod grommet from the Filling Station that appears to fit the hole above and to the right of my gas pedal where the push starter rod comes thru my firewall. I am curious as to why the GMC had a metal gas pedal and the Chevrolet has a heel pad and throttle button.

Just a guess (or two). Different designers and engineers? Upgraded Chevy? Works better? More comfortable?
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

It's cheaper and I don't mean in bad way. As for comfort, these 36 low cabs are very "cozy" and comfortable is not the first thing that pops into your head with your knees almost under your chin.

The seat adjustment on the Chevy '36 Low cab is on the bottom of the seat back. Nothing on the seat bottom. Most have rotted away over the years and have been replaced by blocks of wood made to fit the driver's leg length behind the seat at the back bottom. The seat back is held in by two swinging clips on the top. Hopes this helps you and good luck.

Got everything sorted out, the starter rod hole is unique to the GMC low cab, the throttle hole is the same between the Chevrolet and GMC.
BTW Terrill, I have my seat in correct, I have my seat back out on the third notch which seems to offer the most "comfort" but I still would not like to do 500 miles sitting in that position.

These are trucks and are not made for much comfort. You are right. I would not like to do 500 miles because according to the service manual a complete servicing needs to be done. Wow what a trip that would be!
