Parking Brake ?

Hey guys I was wondering if anybody ever changed from a floor mounted pedal style e-brake to a better hand operated style brake(like Toyota trucks, or certain cars). How hard would it be to do something like that? I am just wondering btw.

All it is just cable routing. You can figure this one out. No idea why you'd want to do it, but to each his own.

I threw a hand brake from a med duty truck on my GMC (the pedal mount was messed up anyway). I like it because it can be adjusted from the cab to make up for cable stretch.

They drive on the wrong side of the road, but we drive on the wrong side of the vehicle.
There's right and wrong, we drive on the right side of the road, so they must be on the wrong side........
