Is it 4 wheel drive?


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Could it be a band parking brake from a larger truck if not a transfer case shift? If so it will have a small lock release grip like an old hay rake or disc.

i believe the truck is 2wheel drive & yeah it has i guess like a "lock release grip like an old hay rake or disc". IF it's not a 4x4 then it's a parking brake & why don't my '58 3100 have it?

First off a 3200 is a 1/2 ton long bed. A 3/4 ton is a 3600. The 1/2 ton had a foot engaged parking brake that used the rear brake shoes. 3/4 ton trucks with 3 speed trans used the same setup. The parking brake for the 4 speed on 3600 and up is a hand lever that activates a set of brake shoes on a cylinder in the driveshaft.

actually Cletis, the 1/2T TF trucks have a hand pull park brake under the left corner of the dash grin but yes on the driveline brake for 3/4T's
