Parking brake for a 65 and 66 K-10
Does anyone have picture of the stock parking brake lever mechanism for a 65 and or a 66 K-10. This is the part that is under the bed and splits the force from the one cable from the lever under the steering wheel to two, one going to each wheel.
I am trying to recreate that in mine. When I sandblasted mine I discovered the (F)-word stamped in it and according to the reproduction cable manufacturer my cables are about 10" shorter than stock. Thanks. |

Mine is a work in progress, I'm looking for a new spring. I think your brake cables are different lengths depending on the wheel base of your truck.

Is the 65 a manual or auto? There are 2 different crossmembers for the parking brake assembly on the 2wd trucks.

Thanks bhc41051 that is exactly the view I was looking for. You picture is worth a 1000 words. Now I need to find, make or modify a few things. Have you found a supplier of e-brake cables for the 4x4? I have only found Inline Tube.

bought mine from inline tube fit perfect. ck on e-bay, they have them listed in stainless cheaper than i paid for my steel ones.
thanks bhc for the pic. I didn't have the spring or the little bracket the spring hooks onto.

Yeah Inline tube is the way to go for the cables. I've been looking for a spring for awhile. I found one online but you have to order six to make their $40 minimum. It looks like you guys need one as well. so I went ahead an ordered them. I'll let you know when I get them.
