Parking brake pedal swap?
Is the 92-96 parking brake pedal assembly swappable into a 87-91 pickup? The parking brake on my 90' pickup is of course not working. The return spring is missing on the equalizer and the tension limiter is shot. Before I go ordering a new tension limiter and spring I was wondering If it's possible to swap in a 92-96 parking brake pedal; from what I'm understanding those parking brake pedals are ratcheting, which seems more reliable as opposed to the 87-91 parking brake in where depressing the parking brake pedal the proper tension and feel is automatically set via the tension limiter. I haven't had a chance to cross reference bolt patterns as I was planning on hitting up the ol pick-n-pull over the weekend. I've search the vast info of the internet and the forums to no avail. Thanks again everyone

I would assume that part of the cab did not change but I am not 100% sure. All the way up until 1992 that was the design. It didn’t start in ‘87 so as far as the the ‘92 redesign being more reliable I disagree. Once you have the equalizer adjusted it shouldn’t have to be touched again.

Just to clear things up: after my adventure to the junkyard and picking up a 92-96 parking brake pedal I can confirm that you CANNOT swap a 92-96 parking brake pedal assembly into a 87-91 pickup, they bolt up completely differently.
