Go to your local import wrecking yard and buy any hand brake system from an import truck,,or,,,look for the same kinda deal for an american 3 to 5 ton truck.
They are easy to mount,,,very little modification,,,make sure you buy new cable's though."I don't know everything and i like it that way"

Check out Lokar. They sell just about anything you'll need for an operational E-brake. With the console in place already, I'd check out a foot operated brake set off to the left of the steering column. Good luck.---Tom

Also if you want a nice anti theft brake system,,,consider using "Line Lock" you can hide the controll switch any where you like,, and hook up your rear,,,front,,,or both rear and front hydraulic brakes to it.
Once it's engaged,,,your truck aint goin anywhere."I don't know everything and i like it that way"

Yeah,,i had a line lock system on my custom trike (now sold) and it was a manual plunger engagement,,,no-one could figure out how to move the thing,,i had the plunger disguised as a cigarette lighter."I don't know everything and i like it that way"

Don,
The easiest E-brakes to mount are those with sheathed cables. You can route them just about anywhere. Curves in the cable don't matter as long as they're not too sharp. The older types that just have a twisted wire cable are a much bigger pain.Jack

This one by Lokar will mount just about anywhere - crossways in front of the seat, next to the seat, etc.Jack
