 The E-brake cables and related parts are long gone/disconnected/bypassed;they often do this on ranch trucks out here so as to avoid getting them whanged flat on rocks,strung out behind the truck by a broken off fence post or,at best,freezing up in the Winter,out in the middle of God's Country,preventing the truck from getting home until Spring. The ones with winches sometimes get those hydraulic E-brake set ups.(Mico-Lock??)
   I really believe a new Master Cylinder and a brake fluid flush would solve this particular problem,but it's STILL going to need all the axle seals and gaskets and complete rear brakes to make it all work right. I probably won't be using this truck as an actual work truck,but plans change frequently depending on the project I need to complete and what capabilities I need. I'm thinking it'll be good for travel (Good gas mileage) when I need to haul more than I can fit into the BroncWorth.
