Got the e brake sorted out, ended up welding a new bracket on nice painted frame (arghhh) and redoing the cable connection. Here is the bracket, details in the build thread.

Also figured out that my carb may not be bad either. I put in a solenoid that will increase the idle when the ac is on. I had not but a switch in the circuit yet. When I started the truck it idled a little fast, so I turned it down. Then is stopped idling all together. In the heat of the moment the solenoid was forgotten. Yesterday I discovered the wire had come off the connector, shorted to the manifold and blew the fuse, probably when I was test running, hence the change in idle. When I get some time I am going to pull it out and try it again to see if that is the issue. Hope so, will save me $300 for a new carb.
