Never seen one quite like that, I know they had them in the 47 ton trucks. They did not look like that one. Below are a couple pics of the pedal out of a 47 grain truck,

Just a guess. Could that be from a cab-over-engine truck?

Did the pedal had a little ball on the side of it for a hand throttle? To me is looks like a bent up and modified 32 ford B model

The elongated spoon makes it post-34.

The pedal on my 1941 tonner is a spoon and looks almost exactly like funrunr's photos.

I can't visualize that it could have ever started out as a 1932 4 cyl/Model B assembly (pictured).

I can by the length. I cut one down on the tube and reshaped the shaft but not as crude as that one.

But the spoon is different on this one

Did other auto manufacturers offer a spoon pedal?

Wonder if it's

Appears, IMO, to be a modified/mangled '32 4cyl B .

Given the lever on the spoon end, it is more likely to have started out as a '33-'34 4-cylinder LHD assembly as shown in the top of the photo below.
