Well, I'm tackling the first problem on my 41 pickup, no emergency brake. The truck has the original brake lever in the cab, but it has a ford 8" rear. I was wondering if anyone has solved this problem before and how you did it. I found the following e-brake cables from Lokar:

To have a working e-brake for $200 and not that much work seems worth it. However I always like to hear from someone with experience before I jump.
