Had a question about the E-brake though. The cable is running behind the cab and sitting right past the drivers door. The guy we bought it from gave me another cable and handle, but i am not sure where the e brake handle is suppose to go. I haven't had much time to tinker with it, but this...
Needs a couple little things like the emergency brake hooked up but besides that she is a strong runner. Eventually we will end up bobbing it, power steering, and possibly a 12v cummins/nv4500 swap.
