parking brake

Hey guys trying to decide if I want to run a parking brake or not. I'm going to run c6 corvette grand sport brakes in the rear. If I want to run a parking brake there is a $650 price difference. Does anyone here run a hydraulic style parking brake or something different. If I can make something else work or anyone runs something different please let me know. Thank you

Re: parking brake

Look around online for a pinion brake kit they sell a few for just about anything.Or if i remember right the f450 and bigger trucks used a drum parking brake on the end of the trans that could be made to work if you got the skills.

Re: parking brake

I am not going to run one with mine but I plan on laying frame (which solves the whole accidental rolling away thing).
