WTB early ratchet style hand brake

[maverick]

Has anyone got a complete early ratchet style hand brake for a M35 / M54, I need everything that bolts inside the cab, new or take off ? I have just the lever if someone has the rest or I'll take a complete set up ?

Thanks

I might have the cable and plate that bolts under the cab. I'll have to look on Wed.

Anything would be great, thanks

Still looking guys, can anyone help

i have all that you need but dont know what its worth?

Woody, shipping over there will be expensive! I say $35 for good take-off stuff. ANyone else care to "arm chair QB"?

That sounds like a good and fair price to me, Thank you.

Ive just been told this on another forum can anyone confirm either way whats correct ???

" The 5 Ton M-Series never had the ratcheting hand brake lever from the factory, they always had the adjustable type with the knurled cap"

Thanks

I haven't been around long enough to know. Does it matter? Its your truck, do as you please. The cab is the same as trucks that did have them.

I am the one that answered you on the other forum. For the folks here, I looked in the 1955 manual as I thought it would have a ratchet type parking brake lever. The manual shows the lever style with the adjustment cap. Again, this is the manual from 1955 not the newer manuals.

My 53 wrecker has the adjustable PB too.

My M-62 is a 53' and it has the one you discribe- The ratchet type almost seems like WWII-CUKW ? Just my .02

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the posts, look like I got it wrong. You learn something everyday on here. Thanks for the offers of parts but as I want to keep my truck original I'll stick with the original handbrake that's already on it.

Thanks

Sorry didnt see the post by 5 ton tomatoe. so the plot thickens, Ive checked my manuals and they show knob type so do you think your wrecker lever has been replaced ???
