Cab / Emergency brake Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kcfirstbuild · 07-12-2011, 08:47 PM

So I have been advised to look for a new cab for my 68 c-10. So I'm in the market for a rust free one. Any how my question comes down to the mounting and the use of the 68 emergency brake lever on a later cab. Is that possible and has anyone done it before. I want to keep it cause it looks cool and most importantly its correct. So I'm hoping to find a 68 cab but dont think I will.

use of a 67 or 68 cab no worries (exits below the steering column)....69-72 have foot operated ebrakes that exits to the left of the fuse block on the firewall so some fab work may need to be done....

I'm going to run this one on mine. Not sure the route your going on your truck but this one is sweet.

That's the route I have to take. My replacement cab is a '68, and everything else is '69. The earlier cab didn't come with the ebrake ass'y. My '69 ass'y won't work in this cab. So, Lokar gets the nod or I have to do some sheet metal work...which I can't do.

It'll match my other Lokar gas/brake pedals....but another post today says Lokar has direct-fit pedals. Mo money, mo money, mo money.
