Re: 72 ebrake in a 67

my67chevytruck is correct, I have taken the 67 hand brake out of my 67 panel and welded in a section from a 69-72 cab to mount the foot brake. It's a bunch of work, but it gets the results I wanted so it was worth it to me.
To be clear, the 67 and 68 have hand pull brakes. Id you want to install a foot brake you will have to do what I did on my panel. (that is if you want it to look factory)
If you are wanting a hand brake in your 69-72 all you would need to make that swap is the hand pull assembly and 67/68 front parking brake cable. You would then have to cut a rectangular hole toward the bottom of the firewall to allow the cable to pass through it like the 67/68s do. WES
