awesome Mike. thanks a bunch!!
Don't get your hopes up yet, I can't promise it to you just yet, but I'll let ya know if so :thumbs:

what route are you going instead big mike????

Long story summed up quick: Changed original '81 rear axle to IFS rear axle, built brackets to fit narrow e-brake cable. Later changed to Tacoma rear axle which is much wider, so I just removed my original, narrow e-brake cable and zip tied the handle in place. The handle has just been sitting in my cab doing nothing for the last 3 or 4 years. I got the entire handle assembly and cable that runs down to the pivot assembly under the cab (however I no longer have the pivot assembly, just the handle assembly + cable in good condition). I am upgrading to rear disc brakes soon after which point my line locks will finally work as an e-brake substitute (not really an "emergency" brake however).
