    I have a parking brake!

    [​IMG]

    Here is my jeep in my driveway, not in gear, just with my P-brake on.
    I have been driving her since 78, never been able to park on a hill without putting a rock behind the wheel. I never had a parking brake.

    I got the brake drum, plate and internal parts from Wheelie in December and the brake handle from Vito H in January. I used the shoes Dave (Wheelie) included. I cleaned them, scuffed 'em up a bit. The brake will also lock up the rear wheels from a 25 mph coast, so I am surprised as heck how well the brake works!

    Thanks Dave and Vito!

    Thanks Chris! Its really a 50 footer if you know what I mean. Once the kids are gone I plan to do a complete restoration, but for now I just keep her running.

    I wish I knew someone with the artistic skills like your daughter has, didn't she do the lettering on your jeep?
