    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Thanks so much for the explanation. Only thing I don't get is, how does the Cable #1 move the equalizer #7. It looks like the #1 cable just goes all the way through the equalizer without attaching anywhere except the left rear brakes. It looks that way with your photos too. What am I missing?

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Oh that's cool, I think I could use those tensioners, thanks. I still can't figure out how the Right Rear gets activated. It's attached to the equalizer by the nut, but it doesn't look like the equalizer will move at all. I'm so confused, I keep staring at this picture from the LMC Truck...

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    @Craig 85 , I finally got around to getting the right cable from LMC. I have the cable from the right side going over to the drivers side and I have the equalizer. I can't for the life of me figure out how this cable assembly works though. The front cable looks like it goes all the way from...

    What is this wire harness?

    Thanks for the reply @Scott91370. Yes, the wires do seem to match up but the connector looks to be 2 big to fit into that end in your picture. I wonder if they changed connectors through the years. I can try matching the wires up and connecting them individually.

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Thanks @Craig 85 , I think I may have to do that. I'm thinking my rear is not the original one. From all indications, it's a JB7 but I think a different year. Is there any way to verify?

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Does anyone know the years that the backing plate had the hole where the parking brake cable used tangs to lock it in as opposed to the dual plate with the 2 bolts holding it in. I have the dual plate but all the parking brake cable that I'm seeing for sale all have the locking tangs?

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Thanks for the pictures @Craig 85 , I guess I didn't get the right kit. Looks like I'll need that longer passenger side cable, and the bracket that they meet at.

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Thanks @WebMonkey, I wonder if I'm going to have to get the #3 cable in that LMC Truck exploded view from above. It's the passenger side which routes all the way over. I'm probably going to need that equalizer bracket where they both attach as well. I was worried about the cable part...

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Thanks @hoagster, I think that design was pre-84. It look like my passenger side cable crosses over at the rear axle and meets with the drivers side cable and then 1 cable goes up to the parking brake. I'm thinking my passenger side cable is not long enough but I was wonder if I can hook it...

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Thanks for the reply and diagram @EvilGenius I haven't seen that before. My question is, my cable 2 and 3 are the same length. The passenger side isn't long enough to stretch over to the driver side frame. I do have an intermediate cable that can hook into that passenger side cable and...

    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    Hello all, I ordered a new Parking brake cable kit from Inline Tube for my K20 since mine did not come with any of it still attached. I attached the 2 cable pieces at both brake drums but I don't know how the intermediate section attaches. The driver side cable hooks in at the bracket on the...

    Parking Brake lever needed for 1984 K20

    Hello all, I've been restoring a 1984 Chevy K20 with my daughter for the past few years. We are currently replacing the brakes and brake lines and such. I took off the rear drums and noticed the parking brake assembly is totally gone. Got a parking brake cable kit off of LMC but it seems...
