Whoever owned our '66 prior to us took it upon themselves to strip the entire parking brake assembly... the pull handle, the brackets, the cables, EVERYTHING. I want to put it all back, and I was wondering if there is possibly a donor car (other than another Mustang) that I could strip all of it from? Back in the day manufacturers tended to use a lot of the same parts on other models, so instead of having to buy everything brand new, it would be great if I could strip a lot of it off of another car. I would want new cables, but if I can find everything else that would be great. I would appreciate some input. Thanks in advance.

A Falcon would have the same p.brake but would be harder to come by than the mustang brake . All the parts are available new ,you just need to make sure what cable set up it has .Early 65 has a two cable setup and a 66 has a long cable joined by a clip in the middle
