1959 parking brake

So i need some help guys. I'm trying to get some minor fixes done with the truck and one I've been trying to figure out is fixing my parking brake. I can't seem to figure this one out. Has anyone on here had any issues with this that can help me out. Much appreciated

As far as i can tell all the parts are there. Just isn't working when you press the brake in.

Re: 1959 parking brake

Should be a arm that you squeeze and pull to operate the brake.do you have a handle like this one on ebay?

if you are pressing it I thinking it was replaced with one from a latter model truck ? foot operated?
