They're about as rare as hens teeth, so they aren't particularly cheap anywhere. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The reason they cost so much is that they're so rare. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif They were only made for 3 years, and for only a single car model. Other ebrake calipers cost far less (because there are zillions of them in junkyards) but won't work for our application. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif And you're correct, they don't come with the e-brake lever. But stay tuned. The folks at Az-Kickin' Off Road may have a custom solution to that little problem very soon. /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
 
sweet im on a tight buget as im shure every one is and having never done annything like this before its a huge help to be able to learn to do it the easiest way!! thanks again and i will be a member soon!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif /forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif /forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif
 
Couldn't there be another solution like late 80s transam rear calipers or impala SS calipers or something??
 
hmmm, even newer trucks? What about other makes? Are there any current kits that come with calipers, levers and cables?

ummm they have phone numbers listed.. you gotta realize that most of these are junkyards where the people are non computer literate.. so they rather deal with the ole telephono!!! /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
 
Just so everyone knows....I called the $12.95 Texas place from car-parts.com and they don't have anymore. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I had the caddy calipers with the ebrake lever, but didnt really like them too much. The ebrake didnt hold as well as I would have like it to. Instead just hook up a line lock, I did and it works good as hell. I ran the line lock up front and the caddies in the rear.

umm all I want the ebrake cable for is for inspection.. im going to go with some company.. (I have been drinkin too much right now to think of whom /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif) but they sell a kit where you throw a switch and it locks the brakes... I forget whom/how/what/etc... but when I need to worry about the actual ebrake working (adide from putting truck in gear) then I will worry about it again..... say amen to white label whisky.. /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
