looking for picture of the parking brake cables 73-87


after a while of searching her, yahoo, Ebay and the GM manual I have not found the picture of the equalizer bracket looking like part for the parking brake. If someone could take a few pictures of this part. Its where the 2 cables from the drums go into and the single cable pulls it. I tossed all of the drum brake stuff ages ago and finally getting around to connecting the parking brakes on my c5 rear setup.. although I'm not going to use that part, I need to look at it.
Thanks
clint

I was at the shop where my truck is being painted so i took a couple of more photos of the E-brake cable. I thought this may help you. My truck is an 86 swb.

How do you release the parking brake on a old truck?

The release for the foot-operated parking brake is right above the parking brake pedal. The parking brake release is a large handle with a “P” on it. To release the parking brake, pull on the handle until you hear the brake release.

Where is the emergency parking brake located?

Answer: A parking brake, also called an emergency brake or e-brake, is a mechanical hand lever or foot-operated brake that is a backup braking system. It is located either between the front two seats or to the left of your gas and brake pedal.
