STILL Working on a frame up: 1987 Truck body on a 78 Blazer frame. Need cab blasted to start project. Got the cab BLASTED, Now Prep and Paint. Started to lay SOME BONDO and primer. Done, Ordering paint. Got paint, Stuff painted,Cab,Fenders, Hood more later. 9/7/2015 Got the clear coat on,now time to take one off. Started to put things back (What a nightmare) like the heating and AC stuff,inside wire harness, outside AC unit and booster, still more. May 2016, still working on the inside. Got duck work in,heating and AC. Radio (stock) in dash with after market in console later, Speaker are hooked up, Steering column is in. Getting ready to drop the cab onto the frame, Working on engine now since I have the room. Well here it is 2018, got the engine in and it runs, now I need to get the exhaust system in so I can adjust the lifters, to loud right now. Got the exhaust on now I am waiting for the break parts to come in.

Mine doesn't have one there, and I don't see an obvious place for one.

Re: Question on e brake?

Thanks dmack91, What I also found out is the main cable seems to be TOOOOOOOO Long. If I were to use it I would be going around the trans and hitting more of my exhaust pipes. THE Cable that goes to the rear wheel seems to be about 4-6 inches to long. This IS ONE OF THOSE TIME I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH LMC Stuff.
Now I got to figure out how do I get a cable the right length.

Re: Question on e brake?

Mine was missing and I replaced it from a parts truck. It is also about 6" too long. I just used a u-shaped cable clamp as a new stop on the end for now.
