Re: parking brake

If you have ever blown a wheel cylinder on a single piston master cylinder brake system you come to understand the emergency brake concept real quick. In those cases would far rather have a hand brake rather than a foot operated emegerncy/park brake.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
