No, it's under the carpet but the 69 up had a pedal over the button because the 68 style wore the carpet out faster.

Damn, I'm sorry I was told by the vette only shop that did my vette that 68 didn't have that pedal.
I'm not going to answer any more of these questions, I've been wrong too many times.:o

"And it's under the carpet"
The carpet lays on top and covers the whole pedal? or is the carpet slit where the pedal attachs to the floor board?

So, it does have a pedal. That explains the little metal underbody reinforcement plate mounted below the dimmer switch. I assume the pedal is riveted thru the floor and thru this metal plate.

Whats really strange is that the pedal from my early 68 (Nov. 67) is slightly different than the picture that FrankVincent shows. The recess for the switch is smaller and it has no part number.

On my 68 (all factory original), which I have owned since 1972, the pedal is under the carpet and mounts on top of the dimmer switch so that when you step on the pedal it activates the dimmer switch.
It gets installed before the carpet goes down, no slits or cuts in the carpet.
Once the carpet is down you can't see any trace of the pedal but you can feel it in the upper left corner on the driver side.
