Emergency brake adustment

I typed emergency over on the fac area of the board and nothing came up, so Ill ask here.

My 71 K20 is getting close to having my emergency brake pedal go all the way to the floor to get it to work. Can someone explain how to adjust this so it doesn't bottom out any more.

My brakes seem to be just fine otherwise. So I'm guessing after 40 plus years some stretching has occurred.

Thanks for any help .... Mark

The ebrake cable adjustment on my 72 C 10 is just inside the left frame rail at the rear of the transmission. I would try some adjusting before buying new cables. Just my opinion.
