My '33 pickup has a ball on the interior shank for another linkage hook-up. Was this leftover from '32 vehicles or is there supposed to be another linkage that connects up inside the cab to the hand throttle lever thru the dash ????
 
I assume that the truck is the same as the '32 passenger/truck (that is probably dangerous). I think the knob to the left side of the instrument cluster was attached to a rod that went to a bell crank and which then went to the pedal. What is in that hole, does it look like there was any bell crank on the tunnel?

I am fairly certain there is a rod that goes from the ball linkage to a bell crank on the tunnel. Do you see a bell crank on the tunnel? What knob is in the left hand end of the instrument panel? It should be a rod that goes to the bell crank.

Don't believe 33 V8 commercial had a bellcrank.The bellcrank was afixed on the dash tunnel of the 32's.33 V8 commercial had full length choke and throttle rods.Your pedal probably was a carry over from 32.
 
If your truck is or was originally equipped with a four-cylinder engine, then that pedal is original to the truck (part number 46-9725-A) and you're missing the transition components between the pedal and the throttle control on the dash (all of which were unique to '33-'34 four-cylinder trucks and not carried over '32 components). The V8 version of the pedal for trucks was part number 46-9725-C and it lacked the ball on the pedal shank.
