Whew! Just got in from mowing the weat forty. It sure is a lot cooler out there when mowing by headlights and a full moon.
When you push the pedal down, it does not engage anything....just free wheels to the floor and come back up. There is something on the assembly that has come off or broke. I'm just afraid that when I take it loose, all kinds of springs, nuts, bolts and washers will fly everywhere.

The cable on the pedal end appears to just have a T shaped cap on it that secures it to the pedal assembly. Make this snapped off so the pedal isn't pulling the cable. I can send you the parts of the FSM that show the parking brake, if you don't already have it.
EDIT: Oops, just saw your other post and it looks like you said it's all still connected inside the truck. The pedal only appears to be a simple lever that pulls the cable, so I can't imagine that breaking. If it's pulling the cable in the truck, can you see if it's pulling the cable under the truck?

The fuel line should be pretty quick and simple. I don't know about the radio, haven't done a change out in many years. If you plan on changing your oil, be sure to have something to put the waste in.

Well, if you don't have it fixed by this weekend...springs, nuts, bolts and washer flying everywhere are my specialty. When we put it back together, the more parts left over are that many fewer parts that can break in the future.

[QUOTE=Diesel-Dan;1666681]Guys......just a suggestion for next year.......The Schied Show was awesome! TONS of trucks.....3 days off pulling and Drag Raceing.....Would be worth the trip...

It's already on our schedule, Dan!
Yup - ever since I adjusted both starwheels all the way in the wrong direction a few weeks ago!
Fixing the E-brake so I can pass an overdue inspection may be my priority this weekend.
I made a set of vapor/liquid gauges w/manifold for all of the refrigerants - I keep it in the rifle case.
I think anything more than a few years old is interchangeable among the 8-lugs.
