well i am now trying to hook up the ebrake on my 72 chevy 2wd swb p/u. would you guys be able to tell me how the cable(s) run along the frame & where the cable support rods go on the frame????

iam also having difficulty with reconnecting the cable from the cab to the rest of the cable run(where the nut & curved bracket attach on driver's side)

if there might be someones pics available from when they did it that would be a big help as well!!!

thanks!!! rodstored-72

This may or may not help. This is from LMC online catalog p 143. It will show better if you view through the catalog.

Not to highjack, nut I need this info as well. I've looked at the diagram in the LMC catalog, but its not that great.

hey guys,
thanks for the info. yea i have the catalog(S) & i basically have it routed ,but i seem to be about 4" short of being able to connect it all. i have replaced the rear with a rear disc brake kit from cpp & i purchased the e-brake cable kit to prevent this, but it seems to not have helped so i was trying to find someone who has done a similar setup to see what they had to do...

thanks again!

anymore help????

I have the same rear brakes on my 72 short bed and I had to shorten the cable for it to work. I live in Scottsdale if you need to see how I installed the e brake PM me and we could make arrangements for you to look at mine.

john,
thanks for the shot. i tried looking in the assy. manual but didn't find anything yet. i will continue... trying to find something in there without it being marked is near impossible!
