Chrs:
Have you climbed underneath to see what it is attached to? My guess is that the motor that was installed had a starter that used a foot pedal. Foot pedal levered the starter drive into flywheel and engaged battery voltage simultaneously. Was popular in cars and trucks in early 1950's. Hope that helps. Regards Steve New Orleans |

stomp starter for sure.
You probably have the only 64 GMC with a 261 engine in it. This is a Chevrolet truck engine that was produced from 1954 to 1962 and usually put in heavy big trucks This one is in my 1953 3100

Definitely a starter pedal for a much earlier truck engine. Both Chevrolet and GMC used pedal actuated starters in the early 50's, although each used their own engines. Yours has a transplanted Chevy engine.
