'61 GMC Handbrake
My truck has been outfitted with disc brakes by the previous owner. I am looking for a diagram of how the hand brake cables to each wheel were previously routed. The cable from the hand brake handle is still there but that's all. I can see something that looks like an equalizer but it forms an "H" on it's side with movable arms. I would appreciate if anyone had picture of how all that was hooked up! Thanks in advance.

Re: '61 GMC Handbrake
Here is the picture of what I have. One is from a 1963 manual and one is from a 1964 manual.
A bigger question is: If you have rear disc brakes, do you have the lever on the calipers for the parking brake cable?

Re: '61 GMC Handbrake
Forgot to add: Yes my disc brakes do have almost the same cable set up as the original shoe brakes.
