Put brakes on Lane Combs ( he "owned" a bit of Tommy Hearns for a time ) dad's truck and the first thing he did after we finished the job was stomp on the parking brake and locked it up tight right in front of the office ... Now you should know that I told him that the parking brake cables wer "frozen" ans should be replaced ... He declined ... I told him I could take the parking brake strut rod out so it couldn't be applied and he said Nope, don't ever use it anyway. He threw a fit and threatened that he'd have some some boys from the gym ( Kronk ) come out and take care of the situation if we didn't fix the problem ... Needless to say it was a long day but I survived the threat :>)

Must've been a pita to get the springs on behind that hunk of hub.

Looks like an F350. What year, 1994?
