I pressed the parking brake pedal this morning and pop!, the rod snapped off underneath. When I checked it, the rearward part of the rod pulled out of the clevis fork. This rod has snapped off short when we were trying to remove the clevis fork for cleaning, and we just used what threads were left and made the adjustments at the wheels to make up for the shortened rod.
I went to oldchevytrucks.com to see if hey carried the piece I need, and they have a 51 inch stainless rod listed bucks! Yikes!
Mine, however, is a two piece rod, with clevis connections in the middle and in the rear. My question is this: Were the '48's really two piece, or did a previous owner cob this together?
