Thanks for the info but I already knew about that, what I'm looking for is someone who did a floor lever conversion like in a car, this brake is not an emergency brake only parking brake to keep the rig from rolling

I'm assuming that your rig is without the foot operated parking brake? If you have the foot operated parts already it is a few easy steps to eliminate the Autopark portion. The info I have is on another computer that I can access tomorrow.

If you do this please post detailed photos, I am also considering this option, but don't have a parts list, etc.

I don't know how much help I can offer, but here are instructionl I used to eliminate Autopark from my '96 Bounder.
Understand that my old rig had the foot pedal assembly as stock from the factory. You may have to rely on your own resources to source a pedal assembly and mount it.
