Re: Parking Brake Restore/Replace?

ive got a 12 bolt and had the stock parking brake. When I put the axle in, I used the parking brake cables that came with the axle. I threaded the end of the cable and used a heim end to attach to the cross shaft. that worked fairly well, but with the arm that grabs the rod that goes from the pedal thru the floor ( I hope that's clear) being really worn, the parking brake didn't hold too well. so I found a pedal assembly from an S10 and mounted it to the left kick panel. then ran the cable thru the floor and back to the cross shaft. has worked great for many years. even holds the truck and my boat on the ramp when im launching the boat.
