67 parking brake swap

Has anyone tried putting a later pedal parking brake (like one from a 71) in a 67 C10. That huge hand operated parking brake in my truck has got to go!

I am interested in the same thing on my 68. The handle is a little obnoxious.

Re: 67 parking brake swap

I like the hand brake in mine, just one of the few things that make them unique. swapping one over to the later pedal style shouldn't be to difficult. just post a wtb thread on the parts board
