Emergency Brake Adjustment on 67-68 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How do you adjust the emergency brake on a 67-68 truck with the hand brake. My emergency brake does not start grabbing until the very end of the arm travel.

under the truck, you'll see the cables, on the front portion there is a U shaped sling, and where it goes to the cables leading to the rear, there will be an adjuster. Tighten the nuts on it. Should be a 1/2 inch nut.

also, a trick to setting it is to depress brake pedal while pulling brake on
