Currently having a **** of a time figuring out the accelerator linkage. The pedal is to the floor and the adjustment rod is hitting the valve cover.

TRybas, your 61 would have had the Holley One-Barrel, so I see you updated it and that stock linkage won't work as you've discovered.
I did the same Holley upgrade on my 61and had to modify the lever and/or Rod that engages the carb. I don't recall how I did it or have photos but, I may have used some threaded rod to extend it.
You might just get the throttle components from a later year truck and that should put you in the right geometry or...
do the Throttle Cable/Pedal upgrade for smoother pedal action.
