[2001convertable]

Hi, I was wondering if someone has or knows where I can buy an emergency brake lever for the rear passenger side of a 1959 3100 pictured below.As you can see the tab that holds the cable snapped

I'm not finding one for sale but A number of Chevys (cars and trucks) use 11 inch brake shoes on the back for years and I'd have want to believe that the lever was the same on any with 11 inch brakes.

that might take carrying your sample to the local pick your own part yard and start checking.

I was wondering if maybe someone on the forum would have one.

Try a NAPA store, you can probably get a new one although it will cost more than at the pull-a-part.

[2001convertable]

I will try that.I have one near where I work.

I looked on Napas website and they don't have it.

Salvage. There is aright and left. Try to get the bolt nut if you can

These yards around me wouldnt waste there time pulling out a small item like this. Its not like the old days and they wouldnt let anyone walk around there yards. I wish it were like that here.

[2001convertable]

I found this on ebay would this work?

I totally agree. I am very small . Less than a hundred trucks. However both my accountant and my attorney in rather firm words told not to let anyone take off parts , let alone browse. They stated that if anything happened , even the if the customer tripped over their own sues laces I could lose everything. I knew a big old time salvage yard about 20 years ago. He did not insure his buildings so he could take that money and buy a huge insurance policy to cover customer liability . I think he told me it was a little over $6000 a year. And that was 20 years ago. Too many ambulance chasing attorneys.

Anyway. Sorry to get off subject . I just sold a pair of the last month to a customer in New York. I jacked up 5 different trucks to get the pair. They were $75 for the pair. I gave him the parts and basically charged for labor. I probably can get you a pair but right now we are -7 degrees and do not think I get my trucks up . Maybe in a few weeks. Everything pretty much stuck down. Hopefully someone on the board can help you out. Every truck had them but many were taken out when brake cables stuck or in that quick brake job . Good luck.

Thank you, if no one on the forum comes up with one then I will be calling you. I was wondering if the one I found on eBay that is in the link would work?

Well the brakes are 11 inch but that part looks different, has like a hook on it. Sorry dude.
