Re: 1966 Handbrake-ebrake tightening

Ok, on the cable that comes from the handle in the cab, there should be a long threaded rod pressed on the end of it. This is underneith the cab inbetween the to frame rails where the rest of the cables are (idk if u ever been down there). This is where the intermediate/middle cable goes through a little perpendicular dilee, and there should be a nut or 2 on the rearend side of the threaded rod that goes through the little perpendicular channel. If u tighten the nut/s, the perpendicular thing will move its way farther forward on the cable, effectvely shortening the cables length. Then, when u pull on the handle, it will pull on the cables earlier, so then ull have a good strong hold.....
