I wonder if there's a way to create a cable actuated ebrake to the rear brakes of this eaton rear end. Get some parts from another vehicle and drill a hole in the backing plate for a cable? Any ideas? 1957 Chevy 3600 Dump Truck http://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/57Truck?authkey=Gv1sRgCM2V3tXv_Pc9# http://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/1965PontiacLemansConvertible# http://picasaweb.google.com/orchids...turesOfIt?authkey=Gv1sRgCOnm3vvVifW77QE# https://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/Streamline02?authkey=Gv1sRgCIqk5fmOjdKr_wE#
