Hi Everybody
I got a couple more hours work on yea old Howard Knapp...I figured out how to make the 1985 K5 Chevy Blazer parking brakes to work with the existing 1952/53 Chevy braking system...
my invention.....:) I had taken the original e-brake mounting brackets off the frame when I removed yea old rear end...kinda thought "hey maybe I can use these over again"...and I did when I did this conversion...I have not mounted them up tight yet....I am thinking tomorrow night for the final fitting...a little bit more cutting and fitting and some welding too...
I had to buy two short e-brake cables from Rock Auto....I made up this funky bracket to join the two assemblies and make it work...originally the Blazer had two different cables and I bought both of them and then sat and scratched my chin for many a day trying to use as much of both truck parts and make them work...not sure if they work or not but at least it is hooked up...So I had to buy the shorter one a second time once I figured it might work....in the Willys Jeep world I would be called "Bubba" for doing this like I did...
Bubba's not a bad name...
