1999 F-350, 7.3 Diesel, 6 speed, regular cab.

I have been looking all over for the parking brake lever assembly. Mine is bent, the lover spring loaded "ratchet" gizmo is not functioning and I can't straighten it out.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find a junkyard with one available.

Any assistance available from the group?
Thank you.
Eric

 

You might wind up getting it from a dealer.
Since you rely on it to hold your vehicle when parked , aanndd, don't know how it got bent could mean it is heavily relied upon. Might be a better move to install a new one and when applied you don't need to be concerned if it will not do the job. It is a safety devise in this case and always better to install one that has not been 1/2 worn out.
