Just wondering if anyone has switched from the 73-83 style E brake cable set up to the later 84-89 cable style? I have a 78 and the cable drags the bottom of my 4L80 pan. The later style looks much simpler on LMC trucks website and both cables run down the drivers side of the frame instead of the early style rods all over the place. It's not really something I have to do, just wondering if anyone has done it and if you can use the factory early E brake pedal with the later parts. It also looks like there are brackets welded to the frame that will have to come from a donor truck.

I have not done it but if you could find the donor plates on the frame, I would think it'd be pretty simple. Or depending on budget/how fancy you wanna get, you could pick up one of the E-stopp or Wilwood electric setups
