Re: parking brake
I used the parking brake assembly from the S10 I salvaged.
When the outer cowl panel was being replaced, I welded a metal plate (18 guage) with 3 nuts to the back side of the kick panel for strength.
For the release lever, I made a rod and welded a handle to it, and capped the ends with 2 plastic plugs. (see pic)
Unfortunately, I mounted it too far back, as I sometimes hit it when getting into or out of the truck. My suggestion, mount is as far forward as possible.
Also, for an intermediate cable, buy a cable that is too long for your needs, and set it up with the front cable and the rear 2 cables. Mark the cable where it needs to be cut, and weld a 'glob' on to the end to make an 'end' that will fit into the 'union' between 1 of the rear cables and the intermediate cable. (see pic, sorry its blurry)
Hope this helps
