65 c20 needs ebrake

[Budman56]

Hello everyone
I converted my truck rear end over to disc brakes but by doing that I lost me ebrake, so the question is does any one know of a easy way to put a ebrake on the rear end or transmission, I have read a lot of about different ways to do it, but Im hoping that someone here has already done it. and maybe they can tell me the challenges I may run into.

thank you in advance..

What transmission are you running?

Hey bro! Rain Rain Go Away! Thought about this? Never used one but might be something simple for you.

I'm not aware of any factory trans mounted e-brakes for the 700R4 such as used on the TH475's used in motorhomes and medium duty trucks. You might have to fabricate a pinion brake if you can't find one already made. Are you running a 14 bolt or Dana 60?

Have you ever fabed, something like this before? I was real happy with your booster bracket.

No I have not.

If you had a 14 bolt, it would be easier to fabricate brackets for a pinion mounted e-brake. It could still be done on a Dana 70, but it would be more work.

I do have plans to add a mechanical e-brake to some or all of my rear disc brake conversion brackets. Although I do not have a time frame for doing so.

This build thread has a good looking e-brake mounted on the transfer case. That might give you some ideas.

I realized earlier today that I have not suggested the Eldorado calipers. I guess I just assumed you did not want to go that way, but that may be the simplest. Who did you get your caliper brackets from Bud?
