If you currently own a '79 or '80 and your car has the original rear parking brake cable, then I could use your help for some reseach I'm doing on the configuration of the rear parking brake cable. In specific, I'm trying to find out when GM switched from a total of 4 rubber boots (2 matched pairs) on the cable to a total of 2 boots (1 matched pair). Also, I'm trying to determine when the outboard boot changed from non-bellows to bellows style. These changes took place sometime after 1978 and before 1981. I'm just trying to figure out exactly when the changes were made. I would be very greatful for any owners of a '79 or '80 to e-mail me at beaupre@rrdmail.stanford.edu if you're willing to take a quick look at your rear brake cable for me.
Thanks,
