if I remember correctly there is a cotter pin thru that hole that holds a spring and a flat washer in place. I will have to crawl under mine & look this weekend unless some one else chimes in. my shop manual doesn't show any details of the parking brake.

Brian: Just got a chance to look under my truck at the park brake & I was right. there is a cotter pin & washer on the end of the cross bar just like that diagram shows.

Mine is so worn that I don't trust it to keep the truck from rolling away when parked. so im looking at using a c10/ s10 parking brake assembly like others on here have done. but that's a project for this winter.
