Hello All! First off let me say I hope you don't mind me bringing this here. While I do not have a Ranger this website was very helpful in helping me find the correct 8.8 rear for my application.
I own a 1967 Cougar with a fresh 347 and TKX 5 speed. Installed an Explorer 8.8 a few years ago when the original 8" broke. While the rear install went off pretty much without a hitch, the parking brake system was never installed. Finally decided it was time to get the parking brake functional when the car rolled over the "stop" i had behind the wheel and down my driveway last week. Damn near killed myself trying to get back into it and stop it before it hit the neighbors truck. Hoping that the crew of informed users here can point me in the right direction to get this thing working properly. I have nothing. No cables, etc. so I am going to need everything. Pic below is before/after I installed the CalTracs and the Calvert split mono-leaf rear springs on the 8.8.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
