1972 Blazer Park Brake help, please!
Hi guys, I have a question.
I have a 1972 Blazer which has had a '75+ 3/4 ton drivetrain swapped in. 454 TH400 NP205 10 bolt front 14 bolt rear 8" skyjacker lift I am in the process of getting a pair of custom park brake cables made up and have run into a little problem. On the driver's side, there is a park brake equalizer bracket mounted to the frame which holds the park brake front cable that adjusts the cable tension. I have no bracket on the passenger side. I have searched LMC, but can find nothing on there. Am I correct that there is a bracket on the passenger side for the pass side equalizer or is it mounted somewhere else? Driver Side [IMG][/IMG] Passenger Side [IMG][/IMG] Thank you. Last edited by BigCarl; 06-29-2014 at 05:07 PM. |

It's just a triangular flat plate with a 1/2"x1" slot in it. Should be fairly easy to fab one up and bolt into those two holes in the frame.

Thank youfor the replies! This is excellent.
I just spent the last hour replying to threads looking for the bracket just to find that they are ridiculously simple to make. I have some 3/8 steel that I will be making one of the tonight. Thank you all again! |

my 72 didn't have that bracket, my support rod went to the elongated hole just past your red circle.

Here's a few more.
Dam...sorry 'bout the weeds... Oh and FYI this is a '71 but it's gotta be close. I'd think that if the bracket rusted off it could go just in the frame hole. Cable length might be the issue....perhaps? There's some adjustment in it. . . Overall view. No the driveshaft doesn't ride on it..... . . Cable anchor, coupler, cable, and anchor bracket ( to front>>>) . . Passenger side( ^ to rear of frame assy ^) . . driver side first bracket (to front) . . I'm takin' these pics for me too! My chassis is about to come out of the weeds! |
