Does anyone know of an aftermarket emergency brake set up for the 49 GMC. I'm hoping to find a cable system that goes from the interior of the cab back to the large crossbar located under the rear of the cab

The one I'm using in my '54 was pulled out of a '72 pickup. I grabbed the pedal, bracket and cable. The bracket fits pretty well between dash and firewall. Cable goes through the firewall and under the floor.

The pedal is a bit high so you have to lift your foot higher than you would on a new truck. May be a problem for tubby guys?
