Would like some help / info on hand brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to get some help from anyone that might have some knowledge of using and installing hand brake set-ups for handicapped people like myself. I want to put a hand brake system on my truck. I am ok with using a standard throttle assembly, so I won't need any help with that. Basically a little background on myself is I have a very rare muscle disease that I have been battling for about 15 years and I still like to stay very active. I have a passion for muscle cars and these trucks and want to keep enjoying them for awhile yet.
So, the reason why I want to install a hand brake set-up is for long cruises and well, make my truck more enjoyable for myself and I figure this is the best place for me to start asking.
Thanks, Ron

The only advice I can offer would be to contact the manufacturer of the brake you plan on using to see what they can offer--sorry I can't be more help--good luck!
