I'm looking for parking brake cables, a parking brake lever(goes inside the drum & pushes pads out when parking brake is applied), and a speedo cable. Can't find any of this at Napa, O'Rielly's, etc. Found some stuff @ Dennis Carpenter Ford, but they don't have the lever, & don't specify if the parking brake cables or speedo cable will fit a 4x4(application is just listed as F100). Can anyone suggest any other sources for parts?

Thanks!

 

Have you tried Macs?

 

Birdog; On the cable, which do you need the cable from handle to the equalizer or from the equalizer to the drums. the two levers you need for inside the rear drums are
Right side B7TZ-2A637 and
left side B7TZ-2A638
The cable from equalizer to the drums is C0TZ-2A635
I did a google search for these numbers and found the cable and the left side lever but no right side.
I'm sure Bill will be along shortly to correct any mis-info on my part and he has a much better search source.
Good luck in your quest

Idaho is correct on the rear cable assembly I forgot the D on the end C0TZ-2A635D

 

Byrd.dog,

There are two parts to the parking brake cable. The part that starts from the pull lever is the same for any two wheel drive 3/4 ton and is available new at Dennis Carpenter. The second part that attaches to the rear wheels is one assembly and is specific to 4x4's and is longer.

For the 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive 59-60 number is C0TZ 2A635D rear assembly.

There are 2 available I see at Greensales Ford.

I couldn't find the lever or cross over links that activate the drum pad when I was looking for my 60 4x4. I found a used set from a 3/4 ton at a wrecking yard and you might have to look around.

The springs for the center link are still available at Greensales, get 1 per side and are C4UZ2A601A. You will need spring washers and U clips. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks guys!

You know what I find amazing? I have Carpenter and etc repro parts catalogs and don't own an old Ford.

Y'all own these old Ford trucks, yet most of y'all do not have any repro parts catalog from anyone. Ridiculous!

And, most of y'all don't have this: 1957/63 Ford Truck Parts Catalog, available on a CD from hipoparts.com

 

Thanks for all the help!! I located all the parts I was looking for between Green Sales & Dennis Carpenter Ford. Only problem is that it's been so long since I took the parking brake cables off, I don't remember exactly how they bolt back up to the undercarriage! Think I'm ok on the handle in the cab & bolting up the rear assy; just not 100% on the linkage where the front & rear cables hook together. Anyone have a diagram they'd be willing to share?

 

Did you read the last line from NumberDummy's post above? You could have all the pics you will ever need!
