Adjusted my parking brake yesterday on my 1949 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup according to the shop manual. Released all the pressure from the NEW cables, set pedal at 1 1/2 inches from fully released. Pulled cables as far as I cold pull them and then adjusted the clevis to align with the clevis holes on the cross bar. Brakes have all been adjusted so I have a slight drag at each wheel. I still don't seem to have parking brakes when engaging the pedal. Both back wheels still turn with just a little more drag than with the pedal released. Shouldn't back wheels almost lock up with the parking brake engaged? Any ideas or suggestions?
