deleting parking brake lever

[goldpack]

I haven't had time to do the parking brake cables on my square since the last big redo and it makes me cringe every time I park this thing in gear. Poor T56

hope you have a pair or real wheel chocks handy.

I'll add a story... My 3500 GMT800 wrecker with a car I just hooked up. Driving to the first stop sign. No brakes. Hydraulic booster leaking out the front flooded the master cylinder with power steering fluid. That oil over filled the brake fluid in the master cylinder, master cylinder seals failed.

That 5 speed had a real emergency drum brake on the drive shaft. Saved, I finished the tow, back safe going slow. Had to replace the master, booster and resealed the disc pistons.

The actor that played Chekov in the most recent Star Trek movies was killed when he was crushed by his own vehicle when the park mechanism in the transmission failed and pined him against a brick pillar.

Had the park/E brake been applied he would still be with us.

Adding the electronic Wilwood setup to mine is the next project in the works.

I bought their cables that are supposed to work with their internal drum parking brakes in my rear disc setup. If that doesn't work well, I'll be looking into the E setup as well

I can pull up the numbers for the brackets and hardware needed when I get home from work.

Mine don't have the drum assemblies they are aluminum centers so I have no choice but to use the electronic calipers.

I suppose a surplus bucket off a front end loader and accompanied hydraulics could be mounted in place of a winch as an anchor of sorts.

It would certainly create conversations

snow plow could probably replace all brakes too.

Started pulling up part numbers and realized it probably wouldn't apply to most here as I have a 9" with Dynalite pro rears. Mine requires several (3) different brackets than I currently have a set of backing/dust covers as well as the electronic parking/E brake caliper kit. Pricing things out it might be cheaper and easier to just buy a kit with the park/E brakes included in it.

The kit I have.

I know i do not need the parking brake lever since I have an automatic and cannot find a lever. But...do I get rid of that bar that goes between the shoes that is part of the self adjusting system?
