Cheapskate1229, Attached is a snapshot from the 1947-54 Chevy FAM showing the foot operated parking brake diagram. The rod does angle from the outsides of the frame to the inner side going from the pedal connection to the cross frame actuator shaft. There is a guide attached to the top of the frame rail that helps keep it aligned/in place between the two connection points.
