Re: s10 parking brake

We are using the parking brake assembly from a 1993 S10. It has a separate release handle connected by a thin cable. the cable is too long, but it can loop up behind the dash so no issue. You will have to make an L bracket to mount the release handle. As noted, the S10 parking brake cable goes straight down through the floor. Then we ran the parking brake cable on the outside of the frame on the drivers side. We are using a Ford 8.8 rear end, so we have Ford parking brake cables in the rear, both run along the driver's side frame to the front along the outside of the frame on the driver's side. Then a U cable and bracket joins the front S10 cable and the two Ford cables on the driver's side frame, just behind the rear of the driver's side door. We made a couple of brackets out of angle iron to hold the parking brake cable sheathing ends.
