Took me long enough to post this picture, I know, but I really figured the next post would be of me solving the problem. No such luck, this is a weird option for a light duty vehicle. I still believe that they were only offered at the Oshawa plant.

To catch up, I parted out a couple of 67 GMCs this year and one thing I did was rob the entire cab-to-rear emergency brake assembly from one of them. I still have no idea if the J76 had the underdash handle like all other 68's (some of this style brake came off the trans hump on other vehicles), but it does now.

The problem I have is that the cable comes up a little short, it doesn't quite reach from the dash to the prop brake. Looking of options on extending the cable, seems to me that something like that is available somewhere.

Aside from the dust and cobwebs, the drum on this contraption is in good shape so I think I am almost there.

As I have mentioned in other posts if anyone has seen a J76 brake before, I would be interested in any info and pics you might have. The most difficult thing about restoring this option is just trying to convince people that it is original and I am not crazy.
