Emergency Brake Switch
Gents,
I have a 72 K10 and I am using the Dakota Digital VHX system. It has an input for the emergency brake being set. I am wondering if our trucks came with that option or if anyone has installed one. I found a couple of threads but they were on later model year trucks. I certainly can fab a bracket and purchase a micro-switch, but was wondering if a switch was factory made for the 72.

Re: Emergency Brake Switch
There wasn't a switch on the 67-72 trucks. The brake light was a pressure failure warning.

Re: Emergency Brake Switch
OK, that makes sense. Got that wired up already to a term block. I also went and re-read chapter 5 in my service manual. LOL, don't know what it is about me and reading the freaking instructions first!!
Thanks Blu,,

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: Emergency Brake Switch
I used a switch from a 70 camaro Drilled 2 holes to mount switch on a 70 blazer and hook up wire. Very easy to do
