It would help if you identified your truck's year and make/model somewhere.
Don't know what year you are talking about, but my '57 factory service
manual covers it in great detail, starting on page 7-15. The book "How to
Restore Your Chevrolet Pickup" also covers this pretty well.
The brake ring is a parking brake from a 1 ton or larger truck, at least in
57. That's assuming this thing came from a Chevy truck. Otherwise, don't
know. Most 1 ton or larger had 4 or 5 speed trannys.
The biggest problem with these is apparently the solenoid burning out.
Nobody makes replacements and they usually have to be converted to manual
actuation to work again.
