I am putting back together a 1949 one ton truck (flat bed with hydraulic lift bed). I believe that at one time, the truck had the SM420 transmission mounted parking brake unit.

Is it possible to add the standard parking brake and lever mounted to the left side lower dash - if I cannot find one of those transmission brake/drum assemblies? I am putting back an SM420 with 4.11 rear diff and 261 Chevy into this truck.

Other ideas for a parking brake?

thanks.
