I drove my '69 F-250 2wd to the store yesterday, left it running, set the e-brake. Came out, disengaged the e-brake, drove home. I shut the beast down, stepped on the e-brake and slam, straight to the floor. What the... Released it, stepped on it again, same thing. Okay, cable broke, right? Wrong. Cable is fine back to the "yoke." Cable to one of the drums broke? Nope, both are fine. Can pull on them and hear the brakes "working." Checked the adjuster, it's fine. Same place it's been for the last 2 years (judging by the build up of grease & dirt.) So where do I go next? Obviously inside the drums, but I don't really wanna do this (the idea of pulling a Dana 60 apart frightens me.) Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking, or have I covered all the "normal" bases? Any help would be appreciated. Tanks.

I looked at one today for $150. I don't know what a good solid bed goes for, but that seems pretty cheap. It came off a '78 Camper Special and won't fit my truck cause the wheel wells are about 8" farther back than mine. It was dark and I was using a 99 cent 6' tape measure so I sorta had to guess. It seemed that the center of the rear wheel opening was 62" from the front edge of the bed rather than the 55" or so on mine. Anyway, it had a factory spare tire cradle in the body cavity in front of the right side rear wheel opening. I never saw anything like it, but it appeared to be factory. It's in pretty good shape except for a popped front corner seam. It's a basically dent free, rust free specimen - as desert dwelling bodies tend to be. It also had a bunch of fancy chrome trim in the usual places. If anybody wants me to go take another look or wants the guys phone number, let me know. I'm not sure but I think he's been trying to get rid of it for a few months now and it doesn't look like he particularly needs the money.

You just joined the ranks of the many, many F-250 owners without a working e-brake. From your description of what you checked. It sure does sound like the cable end broke off in one of the wheels. There is no quick fix. Pulling the hubs is not that hard. Finding the proper cables may be another story. Good luck.

The spindles that Ford used on the drum brake axles had 6 bolts or studs holding everything on. This is the same pattern for the Chevy drum and disk brake axles.

I didn't have time to pull the driveshaft last night, so I just greased the yoke. The clunk is GONE! It did in once at the first stop sign and never again all the way into work. Thank you. I have greased it before, but I guess not enough. It took about 10 pumps. > This is even worse if you stop hard, which pulls the yoke out more, > then take off hard which makes it want to go back in quickly. I didn't mention it in my original post, but this is exactly what my friend said his truck did. The harder you stop, the louder the clunk.

My parts place couldnt get an exact fit cable, but they had a universal fit one. I dont know how it will work, but it looks good because i can make it any length i need ... those things never seem to be the right length. I'm thinking about coating the entire cable with anti-seize before i put it on. I had a mechanic (local GM dealer! they love getting my truck in there) do the brakes for me last time, but i'm going to tackle it myself this time.

Tanks. >> Tim, So you are saying that when some one pushes on the brake pedal after you have pulled the cable and yoke toward the rear, that the cable then moves forward. The only reason I ask is that on my truck the cable separated from the pedal assembly, took a little while to figure it out. The other reason is if there is a problem inside the drum and the cables are working fine then at the yoke there should be large miss match in the two cables with the pedal depressed. If you want to going into the rear breaks bring it on over, should replace internal seals and need a gasket for the axle. Contact me directly and can set up a time in the evening takes me about and hour and half per wheel.
