Rear disk parking brake setup? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys. I'm trying to figure out how to put the NBS rear disks on my 98. I know how to mount them up properly, the only problem is the parking brake. I've been told the NBS parking brake cable setup doesn't work like the OBS and is not compatible but nobody has told me how. I don't have access to a NBS to figure this out myself, so how does the parking brake cable setup work on these things?

Chris, thank you! But would you believe it, we just had one traded in at my dealership [weird as its a high end porsche/ferrari/Lambo type place] for me to take a look at. Appreciate the offer though.

hmmm, different locations bring different needs. Up here the rear disc system plain sucks. Rust eats away the backing plates, locks pads in brackets, seizes park actuators and chews up rotors
