Alternate Parking Brake Options and Cable Routing

Wondering if anyone has removed the stock pedal mechanism and installed some sort of aftermarket solution (e-stopp, lokar, ?) and if so can you post up some photos? Ive got a body-dropped cab so the stock pedal assembly is too long and long gone. I like the e-stopp solution and it seems to be the best option available. If anyone has pics of their cable routing that would take a bunch of the mystery out too, mine is gone from the portion exiting the back side of the drum on both sides.

Thinking I would mount up the e-stopp actuator on the drivers frame rail and then figure out the cables to pull on both stock cables that exit the backside of the axle housings. Button hidden in the cab and done.

Re: Alternate Parking Brake Options and Cable Routing

I'm putting an e-stopp in project cannonball c10. I have the unit but haven't yet tried mocking it up. Seems very nice quality. My plans are similar to what you said, mounting on driver's frame rail.

I did see one camaro project where they mounted it under the trunk floor behind the axle. I thought it looked nice as it was symmetrical, but that's not going to work for me with a gas tank in the way.
