Correct! Lost Wages and I are not going to have E-Brakes on the trucks. Now I know that will open a can of worms with some folks. Lost Wages just needs to get on the ball and cut those ebrake cable holders off his trailering arms!! hehehe

THATS NOT A PIC OF MY FRAME (I WISH) ITS A PICTURE OFF OF PARTS WEBSITE.

Well here's another way to go. This way is through the frame so the exhaust can run and not interfere with anything a lot better. Some of you may be speaking of this.

71Stepside, E brake.....whats that? Im not running the E brake on my truck either(alll them d@mn cables get in the way of stuff!). My thoughts are that its a parking brake for stick shift trucks(a brick is more low maintaince),& it sure wont stop you in the event of brake failure......might slow you down a little, but an auto trans truck dont need one! If you didnt open the can of worms....ill bet i did!........crazyL

I hear ya crazy! Besides all of that I priced SS cables for that sucker and that cemented the deal that I don't want or need one.

Brabra, that is a slick truck. I don't like that routing because it forces you to run the exhaust out right at the back of the cab. That would be pretty loud in the truck IMO.
