Dale don't have a shop manual but have a number of books from that era. I realize now a shop manual will be handy. I have been getting a lot of conflicting answers about this truck some good and soon not so good. I order a manual from down South and even that leaves a lot of question unanswered. I guess my biggest problem is the size of the truck it is 1.5 ton and made here in Canada. Before I start work on this truck I want to makes sure I have all the right answers. Thanks for your input and I will be getting on to a shop manual soon Gerard

Mine is also missing the e brake hardware. I can make all of my missing parts but the cables. If anyone knows a source, I'd appreciate it. I have found and old rusty mostly intact cable on a junk truck that I can copy if I have to have them made.

Brake cables for .5 ton and 1.5 ton trucks are NOT the same. I have some NOS cables.

You might want to get in touch with 3B on this board - he has a whole flock of larger trucks, and is a great source of info.
