e brake cables axle swap - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

tufluv82toy · 03-23-2010, 07:39 PM

workin on a 67 chevy 3/4 ton. Was a 2x4 now is a 4x4 with a 60 up front and a 14bolt ff out back with 05 2500 hd springs. I am looking for the best way to hook up the e brake cables. The 14 bolt cables are still there out of the drums but appear to be too short. I converted the 67 from the hand pull e brake to the foot e brake pedal out of a 71 pickup. Basically i need all the cables to get from the foot pedal to the 14 bolt ff. Anyone have any ideas on what truck I can rob to get something that will work or what company that may sell a universal kit I can make work? Any pics of your set ups? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, TTL

Ill take some pics tomorrow of what i did. I dont remember what parts i used but once i look at it it should come back to me. But i did buy some parts/cables from lmctruck parts and classicparts.com If you also post a pic of yours i could probably help you better also.

lokar, see summit racing. I have the universal kit that you basically cut to fit after youve measure it all out of course. simple. My only thing is I have acable on each side that goes to a backet/cable casing holder snd then its supposed to be joined by a couple on each side end then a single cable running from the center of the trans xmember where the pull is even on both sides, well Id like to get a ballend on the cable end.

I have some pics of one I did at www.twistdmetal.com then click TM projects on the left then click the Sub. the brakes are in there. I tried to post just the pic but would not let me.

Do you think the brass block with the tension screws are trustworthy? Just asking since youve used it already and I have the same basic cables, but Im running the cables up each individual side.
