e-brake assembly help (big truck)

So my e-brake isn't connected, this is off a 1956 F-600 and works off claming around the driveshaft basically.

I'm not completely sure how this goes back together, I'm assuming that the hook goes through those holes, but it really help me out to see one how it's supposed to look. I'm not sure how it came out, it's possible the original owner disconnected it, doesn't look like it be easy to do...






There are three plates that attach to the e-brake handle setup, not sure how they go exactly. If anyone has the procedure to working these I'd appreciate it, I'm assuming I'm going to have to remove that hooked bolt and slide some things around and put it back in afterwards... either that or heat it up and bend it, looks like a PITA to get those plates on without doing something particular.

Thanks

I think I have an original that is together. Are the 53-56 all the same on the brake? If so I will go take a pic of one.

Hmmm, if I read the catalog correctly the 56 F-600 is a "TH" There doesn't seem to be one specifically for the 56 TH. But there are a few more I can send for the 700 and 800 series if they look more like yours.

If not let me know and I'll look for another picture for you. Hope this helps:

Looks like I'm just missing a bolt, I had wondered about that too (seemed a much easier way to build it). I'll give that a try, thanks
