Did A bodies (71 duster) ever come with them, or is there something easily adaptable? I have to replace the broken handle, but prefer to use a foot style one if the swap wasn't overly complicated.

A right hand operated handle would be nice option between the buckets.

I don't think A bodies got the foot brake until '73. You may be able to adapt a hand type from a later model car for between the seats.

The first (only) year for foot-operated parking brake on A-bodies was their last production year: '76.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Are the 71 hand pull assemblies the same as 76? If they are then I imagine the 76 foot brake assembly would interchange. Sounds like it would be a tough parts hunt though if its a 1 year only piece.

There are no '76 hand-pull parking brakes. The '76 A-bodies have foot-operated parking brakes.

Ahh ok I was thinking it would have been an option. I guess bolt on compatibility won't be possible.

60-62 A-bodies also had foot operated parking brakes. I doubt that they are easily adaptable to later models though.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

If hunting junk yards isn’t an option in your area, like were I’m located, a new reproduction replacement handle is available.
