Re: emergency brake handle
Not 100% sure about trucks, but '36 Ford pass. cars and light comm. vehicles were the last to have the ebrake handle on the floor next to the gear shift lever. In '37 they were relocated beneath the dash on drivers side.

Re: emergency brake handle
The 39 pickups had the emergency brake handle by the kick panel.

Your '41 pickup should have the brake on the left side by the cowl panel. The mounting bracket bolts to the bottom of the dash and the firewall. |

Re: emergency brake handle
My 41 pickup actually has two bolts through the dash with the bolt heads sticking up out of the dash. Is this correct? Are there pictures anywhere?

Re: emergency brake handle
1/2 ton '41 p/u's had the e brake under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Big trucks had the e brake bolted to the trans with the handle to the right of the shifter. I have a complete assembly from a '41 p/u if you need one. PM me if interested.

Re: emergency brake handle
Thanks for the info. I have a 1/2 ton. Mine appears correct although one of the dash holes is elongated, possibly swapped with a similar model that had a minor change at some point. If someone could give me the center to center hole distance for the dash mount I could tell for sure, mine is 1 1/8 inches. Everything else seems to line up OK. It's difficult sometimes putting a car back together that someone else has taken apart.
