60'BigBlue, I found a 71 F350 except it had abit harder life but fairly rust free. The worst was the red hood which I found a decent replacement for. The 360 was fairly well shot and I replaced that with a good 390. Now I have a his and her`s, her`s is a 69 F100 also red. The hand brake maybe orginal as 1 tons had a different set up for the park brake. I can`t see some one changing it as it would be too much work. My M 600 had the pb the same as you describe yours. Enjoy it and many happy miles with the old truck.

If I understand what you are asking then, yes, that is the way it should be. You don't get an inside rear view mirror in a big truck - headache rack or bed blocks the view out the back glass anyway. And yes, pto cable fits well where the parking brake is on smaller trucks. The parking brake is different on the big boys - is a drum on the back of the tranny actuated by a lever through the floor near the shifter.

Sounds like you got a good truck!
