hello, I have had a 1978 long flat bed with duels for 15 ? years .The e brake has never worked. should i just go stock repair or are there other options ? Great rig ,we install headstones with it and never spun a tire where you shouldn't..any thoughts ? thank you..The Old Man Hmmmmm? well 175 hits and no comments ?Ah ,such is life haha...How about adding disc brakes on the back ? is that doable ? Thank you ..the Old man

 

No idea about the rear disc brakes, but I can tell you that I cannot find a correct replacement parking brake cable for my 78 longbed anywhere. My original cable was broken so my e-brakes never worked either. Tried using a later model park brake cable that was a bit too long; no dice. Sorta worked for a bit (applied brakes but not hard enough) then cable broke on me after about 20 pulls total. Feh. Guess I'll have to spend $ to get a custom cable made of the right length. Sorry I couldn't help.
