79/73 E-Brake question
So somewhere in the mix of things the 79 frame/e-brake and the 73 body comes up short. Anyone else have an answer to this? I would rather not go buy another brake cable or another truck for one part. I know I can make something, just need a push in the right direction!
So like a foot rod connecting the two with a brace/bracket? Anyone have a solution to this?

Not sure its the "correct" way but I'd think you could make it work with a piece of all thread and a "coupling nut" from the Home Depot. If you dont know what a coupling nut is, it is a nut that is 1 1/2" to 2" long that you can "couple" two threaded rods of the same diameter and thread pitch together with. Think pipe coupling and youll get the picture. I know Home Depot has em............Ive used them on other projects.

I think coupling nut is the correct term. A turnbuckle I believe has different thread directions on either end so that it either spreads or contracts when the turnbuckle is adjusted. A coupling nut is a long nut that is threaded completely through in the same thread direction.

And yes, use Loctite on the treads. Personally I'd shy away from the welder. On a rod this small the weld might harden the metal and make it brittle, subject to cracking.
