Parking brake thingy?

I know this was used but it's been so long I can't remember for what and more important where and there are 2 of them. Looked for holes in the frame but nothing looks like it lines up

Chris,

I think those might have been to hold the sleeved part of the parking brake as it ran down the drivers side rail. Maybe they bolted to a crossmember instead of the frame itself?

I remember that the factory ebrake setup was a pretty cludgey-looking setup with the two wheel cables consolidating in a kind of turnbuckle/splitter thingy so that the cable from the front can pull on both sides.

As far as I know my parking brake is stock and it doesn't look like any of the brackets on mine. I looked around under the truck and I didn't see anything that looked like that. Of course mine is a '72 so maybe some things changed.

Any chance somebody has a picture of how it all goes together in the middle section?

This thread cracks me up, seriously SBD you should pat yourself on the back! A picture of the parking brake layout and where the Parking brake thingys go!

That picture was taken in 2009 right after I took the body off. Glad I saved it for future reference Now all I need to do is find that hook thingy.

Good job SBD.

If it wasn't for guys like you, guys like me and SBD would never get these rigs back together.
