Re: parking brake

You can try adjusting the cable if it doesnt seem to work. But On my 86 work truck the brakes themselves have problems though idk what exactly and I had to tie it up to keep the light off. it just falls down.

Re: parking brake

i untied it and it just fell down. im guessing theres a spring in the pedal assembly that may have broke or something. i dont really know anything about parking brakes.
