The bracket I got with mine was one piece, the cable was MEB491. says its for up to '52, but it worked fine on my '53. The bracket is sort of dished to fit into the hole in the backing plate, with two bolts through the backing plate. When it's bolted down the edges are flush with the backing plate, and the cable sort of dives into the inside of the brake drum. I installed mine with the felt pads to seal it. If I can I'll get out tomorrow and take some pics to post.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
