Hi All,
The broken E brake... I brought up in my General Topics post
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=382
I can see the front cable is moving in & out with the pedal. There's no resistance.
I dragged a hunk of cardboard out & took a quick look under the truck. On the drivers side, outside the frame rail the front is connected to the drivers side rear. There's a thin rusted bracket attached to the rear cable but it's adrift. The attachment for the passengers side is there but not attached to anything. A push / pull cable requires the cover to be anchored at both ends. I imagine the rusty bracket was welded to something.
The truck is very rusty underneath. Nuts have turned into rust blobs. Anything that requires work is gonna require parts replacement.
