I think according to your picture you have the 71 up 4 cable system. I looked under my 70 and my 72. The diifference is the 70 has a dual cable bracket on the drivers side. This single bracket holds both E-Brake cables in relation to the single cable. The 71 up has brackets on both sides, they are a single hole bracket that holds the cable along with the emergency brake cable. The other difference is the curved tab under the floor pan for the 70. You will have to weld the single hole bracket on both sides of your 70 at the rear frame rails,(inboard), to use the 71 up cable system. I hope I didnt confuse you. Eddie :D

The end of the Emergency brake cable that fits into the drum housing has a one way spring clip,, that pushes in,, then expands itself once seated firmly into the drum backing plate,(housing), to remove it simply place a small hose clamp onto the steel end,, tighten it up,, then start to remove it, once the clip slips past a little bit,,remove the clamp and pull the remainder out of the housing. It can be frustrating trying to remove it with pliers and usually results in damage to the spring clip. Dont axe me how I know this! :lol:
