Parking brake strut bar

Does anyone know if there is a close match to a strut bar for a 1970 k10. I can't find one for this truck and I'm thinking I could possibly modify a similar one to work. It's an automatic so the need for the e brake would be very infrequent.

Put a W.T.B. ad in the parts for sale section. You have to be a paid member but its a good deal. Someone will have your part.

I don't know the answer for you. I would try right away they will kick you off if not subscribed. So give it a whirl.

Part #6 on the left side of the page. It's "universal", so it fits either side.

Says it's for a 3/4t, drums are 11" so I'm going to try those. Hopefully they work good enough to pass an inspection.

Re: Parking brake strut bar

My apologies, I punched in 1/2T and didn't read the fine print there. If you have 11" drums I don't see why they wouldn't work, though.
