'58-'62 Gas Pedal Part Number Sleuthing

[Christopher R.]

I found a gas pedal at Carlisle moulded with part number 3777523. Guy insists it came out of his original '62 Chevy passenger car. Only reference I can find to this part number is an auto parts site in Argentina. They carry that part number for a gas pedal for a Chevrolet 400. No referece to any model years. Anybody know what a Chevrolet 400 was in Argentina?

I know the old dealer parts catalogs I have for Corvettes and Chevrolets show (at Gr. 3.451) the same gas pedal for 58-62 Corvettes and 58-63 passenger cars. That is part number 3820328. I believe that part number is the service replacement part number.

I believe the correct part number for 58-62 Corvettes is 3760271. That's what the AIM shows.

So, I guess my questions are:

1. What is 3777523?
2. What is the correct part number for the gas pedal for 58-62 Corvettes?
3. How does 3820328 differ?
4. If 3777523 is the correct part number for 58-63 Chevy passenger cars, how does it differ from the correct Corvette one (3760271)?

1) GM #3777523 was used on 1962 Chevy II's;

2) There were several part numbers for gas pedals used over the 58-62 period. For any given year, the Corvette pedal was generally the same as passenger car. The 3760271 was used for 1959 only as far as I can tell;

3) I don't know. However, the 3777523 was superceded by the 3820328 in January, 1963;
