Parking brake levers

[KVB]

I am working on my brakes, 1965 C10, stock six lug axles. I need the parking brake levers that go on this truck. Any suggestions as to where I can get a kit, or the seperate parts. There is the left and righ levers, as well as a pivot pin with a c-clip.

I am in the Montreal, Quebec area.

Thanks

Ken

Your handle should be on the left of the column. I looked at LMC and didnt see anything.

Are you referring to the levers that mount on the frame ?

give areotruk63 a pm, i think he is in your area too...
I remember him doing a post like this too, then I think he came up with some part #'s

Here's the Aerotruk thread, it does include part numbers in post #9:

I have gone to GM with the parts numbers listed by Aerotruck63, they are in stock, 22.00$ a piece, and they cannot tell me if they include the pivot pin and the c-clip. I just thought someone would have gone through this before and could guide me to the best solution.

The levers I am looking for, are inside the brake drum. Where the end of the cable hooks up to.

They don't come with the c clips from GM, they do have the pins. We ordered a box of 100 clips from Papco removed two then sent the box back. Ask Jim or Rob,Were bad! I`d give a call to Fastenal in your area and check to see if they sell them individually. You can order from GM as well but at what cost. Princess Auto should sell a kit, then what do you do with the rest. Dorman, Moog, dosen`t sell the levers we looked at all our suppliers, nada. Norm 514-695-5795

I`ve seen guys use a self locking nut and bolt to hold the lever on, not original but it works.

They have them. Look in the brake section.

Spreaser bar can be had from LMC, or Dorman.

Aerotruk63 & maxwoof, thanks for the info and link. Seems like obsolete is the route to take. It comes as a kit and is less than the GM dealer.
