Was wondering if anyone has removed the long rod and pivot used for the park brake and gone with a cable from a donor vehicle or aftermarket cable? Pics and info would be great. Working on a 57 TF...
Park Brake Cables I'm amazed no one has responded . yes , this is very do - able , the '73 ~ '87 ' Square Bodies ' have very nice 1/4" round stock cable supports you can use so the long cables don't rub the chassis , tranny etc. and fray .
Park Brake Cables Sorry ; I sold my square body . actually I gave it away after dumping over $3,700 in parts plus mucho labor into it . There may be some under carriage pix in the '73 ~ '87 forum . Anyways , just go to any Show & Shine or junk yard & look underneath ~ these park brake cable guides are very simple and clever .
Been off line for a while, The two pictures are the exteior firewall and just to the lesf to the electrical fuse panel the large rubber groumet and the energency break cable and attached to the fenderwell. The second picture is my shorting the rod and connecting it to the cable, nee to replace the pin with a bolt, it works and I can still used my existing break handle.
Was out of town at RENO The break cable used is from a dodge 1998 pickup, I think most cables ends are the same it matched great. Pick to come
