Using a 68-72 foot brake on a 67?

[spitfire980]

Hi Guys

Iv completed my truck except for 1 final piece for the CPP brakes to work properly.

Iv got a 67 SWB step side and as far as im aware, 67 uses a different style parking brake than the rest of the years

My question is, can I use a 68-72 parking brake? Is it bolt on or do some adjustments need to be made?

Thanks

Here is a thread about using a 69-72 emergency brake pedal in a 67 cab.

You should reinforce the area where the pedal assembly attaches to the firewall. You could just use a plate welded to the inside of the cab. For the foot pedal assembly GM redesigned this area of the fire wall by adding a raised area which strengthened that area of the firewall.

As stated you will have to shorten the pedal assembly where it attaches to the dash. I cut mine down so the mounting hole became a slot. Then drilled the hole in the bottom edge of the dash.

Also you will need to cut a rectangular hole for the cable to feed through.

Finally installed it, I found an unused hole closest the the fender, drilled another hold and mounted the pedal. I routed the cable through the original 67 hole out of the cab. still need to reinforce the area from the outside though. Thanks for the help!
