Emerg brake mounting for 4speed Auto guys
How have you all hooked up the emergency brakes on your 63-66 Chevy/GMC trucks after you have installed a 700R4 or 4L80E transmission?

Re: Emerg brake mounting for 4speed Auto guys
If you hang tight I can take a picture of what I did but it might be a few. I used a crossmember out of a 67 truck though. I bascially cut the Manual crossmember up and kept the parts where the bar slips in and bolted it to the new crossmember with some spacers. Hard to explain but easy to show. Also... Crude but effective. I would rather just put a 66 set up in.

Re: Emerg brake mounting for 4speed Auto guys
I would suggest taking a look at the cable setup used on the '66-'72's. There's no crossmember to deal with, just cables. If the factory pieces won't work, I would think you could modify them to make them work or make your own pieces from that design.

Re: Emerg brake mounting for 4speed Auto guys
Did the 65 still use the pivoting lever mounted on a crossmember like my 63 did? Are you asking about what to do if you eliminate that mechanism?
Im not to that problem quite yet, but was planning on an all cable sytem with no lever, much like on my 68 camaro. Is that what you are talking about Captain?

Re: Emerg brake mounting for 4speed Auto guys
1966 and later e brake setup information, lots of pictures, diagrams, etc..
some people use a lokar brake setup, they say it is simpler and saves aggravation. They are probably right. My '65 c10 did not have the internal pieces inside the drums on the rear when I bought it, so it was very *interesting* making sure that I had all of the parts and pieces. Good luck. -W Last edited by Woogeroo; 01-21-2010 at 06:00 AM. |
