CA WTB - Parking Brake Support Rod for 71 K10

[pjmoreland]

I'm looking for the support rod that attaches to a triangular bracket on the passenger frame rail for a 1971 K10.

Calling it a gem is generous, but I'm pretty excited about it anyways. Haha. I will be bugging you for parts soon. I just started a build thread:

Do you know a length?

Mine is missing, and I've never actually seen one in person, but I'm guessing it is somewhere around 12" long. I'm imagining it has a hook on one end, and it has a saddle for the cable on the other end.

Here's a photo of the part I'm looking for.

I was going to try to make one for my K20. (1967 so probably different than your 71 K10)

I pestered Clay in his build thread to see if he could get me pictures and dimensions.

I had this - https://www.inlinetube.com/products/inl14355 left over from a C10 and tried to make it work. Instead of a hook I just ran it through a random hole in the frame like the C10 and used the part they are calling the 'equalizer' on the end to hold the cable like a C10(aparently 67 K20 also looking back at Clay's pic). It works good enough I quit looking for the right part.

My original intention was to bend the long rod from inline tube to replicate the hook. Might be a project for another day.

Thank you. That kit from Inline Tube looks like a good starting point for fabricating one.
