Parking Brake pedal question

[Cobra33Bravo]

Okay Ive looked through TM's and have found nothing detailed enough for my question. My parking brake pedal comes all the way up to the release handle when released. Is there supposed to be some kind of bump stop or something to keep it from coming up that far? I had a 1983 full size Jimmy a while back and don't remember that pedal coming up that far. Any pictures of the mount for the parking brake that would answer this for me? The pictures for the parking brake mount in the TM's aren't detailed enough for me, maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks

There's supposed to be a piece of rubber there. I think it's the same part for all pickups and blazers 73-87. It's not a CUCV specific part. 2nd pic is normal position when released.

Matt, thanks for the pics. That helps me out too.

Thanks! I know one of these times I'm not going to watch and that pedal is going to smack my knuckles. The pedal doesn't release easily so I know I will turn the sky blue when it happens. I will take a look to see if I can find that part.

Mine does the same thing. I've been whacked a few times and fear it. I just keep a looped piece of cord, or a carabiner, on the release. Good to know there is a stopper which will prevent this.

I have yet to find any kind of part number for it. I think you may need to requisition one from another vehicle

I will put my foot on it and let it return slowly. Reason being is that if you have mud, snow, grit on your boot and it transfers to the pedal you will have a good shot of wearing it.
