Hand brake spring

[fireguyfire]

I’m finally re installing my parking brake lever and cable on my 70 1/2 ton after a full restoration.
For some reason I can’t find the photos I took of the handbrake lever before I disassembled it and restored the parts.
Can anyone help me out with a photo or description showing where this long spring goes? I’m pretty sure the 90 degree end goes to the bolt that holds the lever bracket to the firewall, but I want to install it correctly so that I don’t have to pull it out and correct it if I’m wrong.
Cheers!

Only place I remember a spring is the return to resting position under truck where cable join for rear axle.

Could you post a photo of the spring in your truck Kim?

I just looked at mine and there is no spring or even a place for one that I can see.
I’m glad this topic came up though. Mine was missing the cotter pin that holds the 5/16 pin from falling out on the end of the cable.
