ebrake can it be done? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

brans72 · 01-02-2011, 09:29 PM

I really hate the pull type ebrake handle in our 67 truck. I was wondering is it possible to install a brake assembly from like 72 C10 in a 67 C10 without a headche? Thanks Brandon

you don't like the handbrake?! i love it over one of those things you stomp on!

67chevy1series · 01-02-2011, 10:33 PM

i agree with jake but no you need to cut out a portion of your fire wall i wouldnt suggest it

brans72 · 01-02-2011, 10:44 PM

Guess it stays then for now! maybe I make a mall handle to conseal the size and more leg room etc. Brandon

The hand brake is nice also if you ever want to add any kind of speaker pods down in your kick panels.

brans72 · 01-02-2011, 11:12 PM

Yes it can! The PO of my truck just drilled holes in the firewall and installed it. here's a pic.

I can post more pics of the inside of the cab if you want.

Will try to get some pics posted 2nite.
That is the original square hole is for the 67-68 wiring fusebox. (The middle part was cut out since the PO had a '69 fuseblock and the fusebox had to be rotated 90 degrees.) I'm not sure if the 67-68 fuseblock would work with the pedal e-brake.

i posted the same question 2 weeks ago this quote is from dave-68

Yes, I had a doner '72 firewall and grafted that section into my '68. It's been years but if I remember right the foot pedal style firewall has added bosses for structural support and strength. And, it falls in the same location as the fuse block on the '67's and '68's, so that needed to move too.

I did it to my 67 panel. Here is a link to what I did to make the conversion.
