Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 546 | I am reconnecting the parking brake components and it all makes sense except where does the spring extension rod hook on to the frame? I have a factory assembly manual but it is not clear at all. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | So what year and model of truck is it? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 546 Donald S. | | Donald S.

Maybe this link will work parking brake spring hook | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Mine is a 1 Ton. From what I can see in illustrations in the assembly manual, I would think that it attaches to a hole in the crossmember, just like my truck. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,280 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,280 | Yep, there is a hole in the crossmember for that spring. It is near where the skinny rod attaches to the fat cross rod. (Sorry for all of my "technical jargon").

Can anyone share why the small rod that hooks to the spring and crossmember has a weird offset on one end? I have the rod in the link above. | | |
