This page shows one way to get a Jordan Brake Controller to work on a GM truck. The Jordan wants to see no more than a 1 in. cable travel when attached to the brake arm. This is not possible with a GM because of the steering column mounting.

This shows the general relationship between the brake arm (with Jordan bracket mounted), steering column, and the homemade pulley (with Jordan cable losely strung) used to couple the brake arm to the Jordan Controller.

I have made a bracket and pulley to correct for the excessive brake arm movement of GM trucks and provide proper overall cable travel that the Jordan Controller can use. The pulley reduces 2 ins. of brake arm travel to 1 in. of controller cable movement.
 
This works very well in that it retains the principal advantage of the Jordan Controller, true  proportional control over the range of brake arm movement, when brakes are applied going forward or in reverse, and precludes the Jordan controller from bottoming out prematurely.
