 Re: Old truck need lil help
Sounds like maybe the spring linkage is wrong or out of adjustment

 Re: Old truck need lil help
My old first gen dodge did that one time and the stud on the back plate that the e brake hinges on had rusted up and wouldn't let the lever hinge. Something to check.

Emergency brake-if you don't use it you loose it usually
