Parking brake - what are my options?
Truck originally came with a granny 4 speed and had the brake on the tail end of the transmission. I've got the pedal and cables/brackets are no problem but I haven't a clue what I need to do on the drums to hook it up. Can I drill through the backing plate and make these work or do I need new parts?
edit.. this is the passenger side so right = rear of truck Last edited by TravisH; 01-28-2008 at 05:04 AM. |

Re: Parking brake - what are my options?
I'd be finding a pair of backing plates that already have the parking brake mechanism. That way you'd know what went where and that it was all set.

Re: Parking brake - what are my options?
so are the plates pretty much interchangeable for the next 15 years or do I need 67-72 specific?

Re: Parking brake - what are my options?
They all look similar, but I'd do some junkyard searching to verify before you jump in and buy anything.

Re: Parking brake - what are my options?
I might take you up on that whatnow
Looking at the plates I can't imagine theres any difference other than the hole but I'm probably short the pivot arm. I'm going to pull off the drum after my paint dries a little |
