You fire truck had it's factory trans mounted parking brake relocated to the rear because you have/had a mid mounted pump with a transfer case that disengages the rear axle when pumping, this allows the pump to turn and keeps the truck from rolling away...the parts for the parking brake may or may not be GM parts, the fire service body builder may have used parts from another manufacturer.
