Bellcrank for throttle linkage

I have run an ag pump on a foot pedal. It can be done but it sucks. Do you rules not allow a hand throttle? If they dont then make sure you give yourself a ton of leverage on both the pedal and the pump
 
I had been running a 2.5 class and have been running a hand throttle. Rules changed to 2.6 smoothbore, but no one running that class. Quite a few trucks running in a new work stock class, but hand throttles are not allowed.
 
We always ran a foot throttle without issues on out old 3 inch truck. Just used a piece of threaded rod to go right from the rod off the pedal to a bracket I made that bolted to the arm on the at pump. Bend a 90 on both ends with the rod and use locknuts. Worked great. That was on a 76 Ford though so the factory pedal came out into the engine bay. Should be able to do the same just your rod will be partly in the cab on a newer truck.
