Converting from hand brake to foot brake Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Reading Wes (Classic Heartbeat) account of the '67 Panel he redid, I found that to get rid of the handle and go with the '69-72 style of brake pedal is a pretty good project.

It looks to me like a patch panel would be a good item to have available, but I don't know if anyone makes such an item.

Since I am replacing my '69 cab, with a '68 cab, you can see my problem.

On the other hand, I understand that Lokar makes a brake pedal ass'y. I assume it doesn't require the metal work that Wes had to do, in order to make it work.

Any comments?
