Finally made a little progress - pics

I can confirm that the e-brake set-up for a 1966 will work with 1971-1972 e-brake cables as I have installed a rear axle out of a 71 into my 66. Have you tried removing the e-brake cables from the old rear and installing them on the newer axle?

I don't have the old rear, but I have thought about that. Wonder if the older, longer cable would work on the newer rear/brakes?

So a dual master like this - '69-'71:



could work with a prop valve like this - for an '85 truck?



Man, this threads branched off.. lol

here is a pic of what i used, I will have to look it up to get the exact year if you need me to. mine has power brakes, not sure about the non power brake rod. I assume it will work also...................................
and nevermind the hideous brake lines, haven't replaced them yet

i can get more pics if you need

The master cylinder that I used was for a 1971-1972 C10, and the proportioning valve came off of a 1977 1/2 ton blazer. You can use the C10 master (looks just like joe231's) I purchased it new at my local parts store for less that $40.00 and a prop valve off of any 1/2 ton chevy truck from 1971-1987.
