Well i have to say in the majority of the trucks i've owned,none of them had a good working e-brake. To be honest i wasnt even going to put one on this truck! But i started thinkin safety and found a complete ebrake, cables and equalizer assy for a guy in Tx.pretty good shape to start with. Only had to fix the front cable and just cleaned up and painted.I finished up with the floor. I hear that some of these big V8 shows they inspect your car.Feels good to have some extra stopping if needed. Ken
