Re: 1971 K10 Stepside - Getting a Roller Roadworthy
I had to rebuild the Toggle Release Box. It wouldn't retract smartly.
[A Symptom that presented prior to the cable parting.] Degreased, blasted old paint and rust off. Replaced the inside springs. LockDoc had the little Spring inside the box, and Mel at Classic Heartbeat had the Spring-with-hook that pulls tension on the underside threaded rod. Firewall Grommet fell apart, got a new one from LMC. Sprayed the box satin black, lubed wear points, and reassembled it.

Cleaned up and painted the engine crossmember this evening. Removed some nuts that were booger welded to the engine perches. Also painted some other little parts.

Re: 1971 K10 Stepside - Getting a Roller Roadworthy
Received the F-250 parking brake cable this evening. It came with some hooks attached to the ends that came off with a little tapping. This cable is supposed to be 64-7/8" long, but it's actually 65-1/4". It went on alright, although the adjuster has only about an inch of adjustment left now. The parking brake is functional and firm now, so I'm content. The Inline Tube cable at 64" would be just right.

And here's the parking brake pedal with the brake engaged.
