Re: Rear brake leaver under bed for weight
They were common on 80's & 90's vintage Toyota one ton pickups. I believe they restricted fluid to the rear brakes (similar to the way an adjustable proportioning valve works) when the truck was empty and allowed full pressure when loaded. They fell out out production with the introduction of ABS brakes. They worked pretty well on the trucks at work but the linkages were subject to corrosion failures and then you had problems with the rear brakes locking up.
