I need a little help here. I can't figure out for the life of me where the E-brake return spring hooks into, both ends. ???

It has a washer on the floor side the same diameter as the spring it basically floats on the shaft. You push the pedal in and it compresses, then when you release it pushes back out. It really does not hook to anything. Sometimes depending on the hole in the floor panel they will kind of twist in there and stick but they don't attach.

I have the spring your referring too. Then the light came on,

http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/cart/product.asp?prodid=ME156&i=9879|||||

It's the brake cable with the spring inside the drum that pulls the lever, that turns the shaft, that pulls the 40 some inch rod, that pulls the E-brake peddle to vertical or some part there of.
From time to time I can't find the light switch.

Thanks for your help.
