Handbrake

[Weapon_F]

Hey guys, i have been looking for photos of my handbrake setup, and how it is supposed to work / latch into place! do you guys have these setups? i have only seen photos of the foot operated setup. if any of you guys have one and can throw up a couple pics of it in the on and off position and the latch part that would be great!

That's actually the first handbrake I've ever seen in a bump.
Here's a diagram for it:

The bigger trucks have them but I think they came through the floor. Been a while since I played with one.

Your auto shifter setup looks interesting, mounted on the 'drivers' but I thought the auto's shifted from the other side (at least they do in the US)

thanks for the diagram, hopefully i can get it working like the factory intended, the truck will need to pass a roadworthy inspection once the rebuild is complete.

as for the auto shifter, I don't think it's standard, i think it's part of the conversion the truck had by one of the previous owners, which was poorly executed at every turn...

Yea, most of us know how THAT goes!!!

My truck has that same setup and I was confused because I haven't seen it. Also mine doesn't work. Would like more info on it. Mines a 68. Is the a po install?

the handbrake seems standard, i think the F-100 customs we had delivered over here were a thrown together box of parts.... kind of whatever they had lying around to make them australian road legal.
