Re: 62' GMC 3/4 ton project

I did not want to use a cable. It's actually very simple, the mount holds the caliper as well as the handle but its just two pieces of flat steel and one piece of angle. the linkage in the picture is not the final product it was just for getting an idea of what I need to do, the final product should be much nicer and yea it only takes three of four clicks to be tight. the disk is going to be mounted right there on the yoke of the transmission.

I ordered the wrong disk the first time around and it was twenty thousandths of an inch off center but it fits the yoke on the Dana 60 so I kept it and ordered the correct disk for trans yoke. In the future I plan to have two drive shaft parking brakes, one at the trans and one at the rear end at that time I will activate the rear caliper with a cable from Lokar off of the same handle but for now I'm just using the trans yoke with mechanical linkage.
