I have just finished installing all new lines and E cables (1959 1/2 ton pickup )and the bars where not there but I found them in the glove box so not sure if they are orginal or not. But believe they are and the brake shoes may not be correct as I am reusing the ones that I removed and not sure if they where installed correctly to start with as the E brake lever is attached to the short pad just wondering if any of you guys had encountered this problem and
what was the fix?
Thanks | | |

If the cables are stuck or adjusted up too tight it will be difficult to put it all together.
