Has anyone put a pedal oper ebrake in a 67 68 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am just curious if it is possible. It looks like my fuse block is in my way

I would also like to know this. I`m not crazy about the the big tractor lever. It can be done, just to what extent of fabrication is involved with it.

Yeah I ripped mine out and threw it away. I should have thought that out a little more before I did it but I dont want it

Thats awsome!! I will let you know when i head back down your way hopefuly soon!!

as for the pedal, I would say yes i can be done!! My 68 had a foot pedal E-brake. mine just has 2 bolt holes and a gromet were the cable goes thru the firewall.

the hand lever operated E-BRAKE is just one more of the SUPER COOL feature's of a 67 68 chevy truck and I CAN'T IMAGINE changing it , heck that would be like taking my three on the tree shifter out and putting it in the floor EEEK!

X2. But to each his own.

We are wondering the same thing. Bumping this back to top to see if there are any success stories out there (apart from swapping firewall sections). Is there an easy, bolt in and go solution? How about the Lokar foot brakes? Anyone retro fit one of those to the 67-68s?

you have to rotate the fuse panel 90*. they are rotated on 69-72 trucks to clear

Interesting. Is that it? Does it require a different exit point through the firewall? I don't have my truck right now to visualize it. And I'm assuming a different cable setup for the section leaving the cab...

Yes, but need to make sure the wires are long enought to rotate, I have not tried it yet. Same exit point. The foward ebrake cable is different and will be required to use one from a 69-72 as well as make a new exit hole for it.
