Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
I can't imagine a trans swap would make any difference in e-brake cable length?

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
This is a good question. One of the things I would like to do to my truck is get the E-brake working again (PO hacked and cut the crap out of it) So I don't know what goes where. Truck was originally a I6 3spd manual... if I use the same set-up as stock will it interfere with my 700R4? (I have a 67 with the handbrake that pinches the skin on your hand if your not careful!

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
I might have an eBrake cable for ya, bud. At least, if you still haven't got it figured out.
Well, I'm going to bump this one again! I'm still wondering - has anyone ever seen a 67-68 (or later) eBrake setup that DOES NOT criss-cross under the body in an "X-shape" like the stock non-pedal (handle e-brake) does? If so, how was it done? I'd like to keep my e-brake handle, because I really like it! But the brake cable setup is rubbing my tranny tailshaft and crossmember, taking the powdercoat and paint right off 'em. Pic of that:

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
I have a stock 1971 brake setup with a 700-R4 trans and have no problems.

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
In looking at this, I suppose I could possibly route the e-brake cable through the hole in the tailshaft - it looks almost like it already is in this picture

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
69-72 crosses the same way. I'm running the 4L60E in a Suburban and Crewcab and have no clearance issues.
Forgot to add, LOKAR sell a real nice setup that will allow you to do away with the metal rods.

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
Is it designed for our trucks?

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
It's a universal kit that's easy to install. I used one on my 48.

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
Got any pics of the install, per chance?

Re: ebrake cables with 700R4
This seems to be what Lokar recommends for a rear drum truck like the 67-72 pickups:
http://www.lokar.com/product-descrip...ake-cables.htm Do these look the same as what you used, Rob?
