foot brake return spring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello I have a 1969 c10 step side. I am missing the return spring from my parking brake assembly and was wondering if anyone had a picture of the spring. Thank you

The various parts places should have them and a pic.

I think I got a (supposedly) stainless one from inline tube along with a few other ebrake parts for my Camaro. I still had to pull it out and cut it down to make it pull the pedal all the way up...

The assembly manual doesn't show one for '69 that I can see.

Here is a picture of the spring. Our local Ace Hardware has springs that will work in their assortment and I am sure other stores have spring assortments.

Jim,

Unless I am mistaken I think that spring is for the release handle not the parking brake cable.

It is for the foot break. I know mine just broke this week an I havent found one the right size yest.

Leon,

That is the only spring that I have seen on the "foot brake assembly". He has a C-10 which has the spring on the cable so I am not sure what he needs. The K-10 has a separate spring to retract the cable.

I am in the same boat as you. I haven't had one that had any other spring on it. I know they have the return springs on the individual cables inside the rear drums.

The picture that Jim posted of the spring to the release handle is what I am looking for. Sorry for any confusion

JimKshortstep4x4 · 04-07-2011, 08:04 PM

Thanks for the clarification!

Hopefully you can find a spring. Even if you have to get a longer one, it can be cut down and rebent.

If that is what you need I probably have one I can send you. I have a funeral to attend approx 120 miles away from me tomorrow so I won't be able to check until tomorrow night.
