Re: 1972 parking brake cable clamp

Assuming it's assembled right............FWW, the clamp has to be pulled off the cable to pull the cable through the firewall. So if that's what you mean by smash it down, smash that (*)^^ down, with plyers on the flat sides - the bolt finishes her up.

If that doesn't do it the clamp or cable are wrong, more likely the cable, I'd think. Original clamps don't lie.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
