emergency brake system pics

[suicide 63]

Hey guys i need some pics of how the cables from the rear end come together and hook to the cable coming back from the pedal.


Both of my cables leaving the axle are the same length and i am missing parts so I would like to know what im looking for.
Thanks in advance.

I may have some from my truck as I was putting it back together

I've got a related question...about half the time, my parking brake won't "lock down" when I push it in, or will barely catch. Does anyone know how to adjust it?

How far are you having to push it down? You adjust it under the truck. There will be a bolt/nut, just tighten it to make it tighter.

Well, I push it to the floor and it does not "catch". Sometimes it does catch, but if I'm on an incline, it lets go. I'm sure it is probably easy to fix, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

Thanks ,boy i feel like a big dummy now Ive looked through the lmc catalog a billion times.

If it isn't catching I would check the latching mechanism. You may be missing spring or it bent.

BTW, you should only have to press it down about 6". If it is going to the floor it should be adjusted.
