I have a 1952 3100. I hope someone has a photo of the parking brake pedal assembly from the underside of the truck. I have seen all the manuals and sketches but none show how the shaft hooks up to the cab.
Since some of the cowl parts were replaced the mountings may be missing.

Parking brake mounting bracket.

Looking at your video it looks like you had a problem with the parking brake latching. I am currently having that problem with my 50 1/2 ton as well and have not been able to get it to latch after playing with the adjustment at the brake release handle. If you were having that problem were you able to fix it and what did you do?
Thanks,

I made that video a few years ago because the lever wouldn't catch and added the video to my post.
In my case is was a simple adjustment in the knob and jam nut. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,281 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,281 | Yes

In my case is was a simple adjustment in the knob and jam nut. I thought so as well. I have never sensed such utter frustration from viewing only a partial hand in a short video without dialog.  Great video for understanding the Rube Goldberg AD parking brake! Carl
