This is where I'm stumped, does it just have a equalizer where the 2 cables from the rear hookup and the front one hooks up in the middle with the spring?
See pic in center, exploded view at upper right.

2A602 is the equalizer bar, 2628 is the adjustment rod, 2A635 are the R & L rear cables.

The 2A793 cable extensions are only used with 133" wheelbase.

This is what it looks like in person.
If you have a shortbed then you won't have the two cable extensions in the picture. The e-brake cables will connect directly to the equalizer bar (2A602)
Just a note, in the picture, the adjuster (2628) is upside down. It should go in the equalizer from underneath. It has since been corrected.

Hi, found this link looking for threads about 2A602 as my '72 F100 is missing this part and one cable, the parking link bars and the parking brake levers!! I had the truck imported to the UK last year after it sat in a field in Oklahoma for 10 years.
I stripped the rear drums today to start installing new shoes, springs and adjusters when I found bits missing, all the bits I cant find to buy! can you still get 2A602, 2a642 and the levers???

also noted the extensions needed for the long wheel base, can you buy these or is there a kit to make them up??

Keep me posted if you can't find the parts you're looking for. I think I have all those...just need to find the box they're in.

Since we are talking about it, I just hooked mine up today and the drivers side cable where it comes back to the equalizer bar is actually a little shorter than the passenger side? I was able to loosen up the long threaded rod and hook them up but the equalizer isn't even.

Thanks Resonateur, it seems the Equaliser, spreader bar and the park brake lever are the only parts you can't buy..

Hateranger, I was under my F250 today to see if I could grab the extension cables to fix my F100 but discovered it doesn't have extensions!?!?! however I did notice that my cables are the same as yours, one slightly longer than the other, looks like more research is needed for this to see if it is a common thing?




Also I need to know how my F250 doesn't have extensions? did they make longer cables? does anyone have part numbers? very confused after the earlier picture clearly shows extensions for a long bed..

133" wheel base? thought they were 131" for the long bed and 115" for the short, unless the 350 up had longer wheelbases?
