Not the usual brake thread...

1974 F600 4-speed w/ 2-speed rear axle.

Looking for a TALLER / longer (?) parking brake lever to replace the stubby OEM parking brake lever mounted to the floor.

I need something about twice the height of the OEM parking brake lever that is tall enough to grab WHILE DRIVING where I do not have to unbuckle and crawl under the seat to find the damned thing. I vaguely recall the old school buses having either taller ones... or dash mounted parking brake levers. Either way - I just need something I can find without searching for it... and that I also don't forget about and then drive off burning up my shaft mounted brake drum.

Any ideas?

Is there any way to extend the existing lever?
