63 Parking Brake Lever inside Drum
My 63 2wd is missing the parking brake lever/actuator on both rear wheels. I can find pictures of the part online, but no part number that covers back to 1963. Will an 1988-1998 lever work? Or is my best bet to head to the salvage yard and hope I find a pair? Thanks.

Vanhow10, did these levers work for you? My 64 is missing them and want to be sure they work before I purchase them.
Thanks! Jeff |

Re: 63 Parking Brake Lever inside Drum
Jeff,
I just got back from vacation and haven't installed the lever yet. From what I can see, I think the part should do the trick without issue. I hope to find time soon to order the necessary brake cables. Some family health issues have come up and I need to spend time with them instead of the 63. |

Re: 63 Parking Brake Lever inside Drum
Good news! The left side lever fits great! I had to order them from different place and the right side won't be here until Monday. The only thing you will need are two e-cilps to keep them on the primary brake. If you buy a drum rebuild kit it will come with the two e-clips, too!
I will install the right side this week sometime and report back. Edit: Added picture to clarify the e-clip. Last edited by Backpayne; 03-26-2016 at 08:59 PM. |

Re: 63 Parking Brake Lever inside Drum
Well, crap. USPS screwed up my shipment so I don't have any idea of when the lever will come in.
