emergency brake question

[tonkadawg]

I'm still trying to get my '49 transported out to me here in VA. The shipping company says the truck has to have a working e-brake for them to move it. I just spoke with the guy I bought the truck from and he says the truck never had one - not like there was one from the factory and it was removed at a later date, but that it came from the factory without it.

Can anyone help me on this? Maybe point me to some sort of on line manual or something that will say one way or another?

Thanks!

Matt
