Why would stick or automatic make any difference on that? On my T bucket I used a pull handle park brake like you find in a lot of boxes with wheels. I can't remember what mine came out of at the time because I put it in in 1974. On my 48 I used the kick panel mounted park brake pedal out of a mid 70's donor car that I had scrapped out. Basically the car was there at the shop, I owned it and needed a park brake and a half hour later I was figuring out how to put the park brake pedal and cable in my truck. Outside of being mounted a tad high it worked great for a lot of years. Releasing the bugger was a challenge for a long time as I didn't have a proper release lever for years.
Sometimes you find a place for a small one like this. My 34 has the original. https://www.controlcables.com/emergency-brake-lever-pn-b1000/
Check out forklifts and heavy equipment lots of compact under dash units PORCHE 944 and Jaguar xjs from the 80’s had handles that went in the left side of the drivers seat , once you pulled them up they would drop down to let you get in and out of the car
I picked up a cheap import one that goes between the front buckets off of eBay for 10.00 to put into my 31 tudor. I'll mount it behind the floor shifter and between the bucket seats so it just sticks out enough I can get hold of it.
In case you cannot find a 944 in an yard, it's forerunner little brother the 924 had the same handle.
The junkyards are full of cars with all sorts of floor mounted ebrake handles ,pick one you can work with ..
I use a '39 ford under dash handle, at least that is what I think it is. I mounted it under the dash as close to the door as I could get it, cable stays inside the firewall and goes down through the floor. It works good but as you know you run out of room fast in a model A and it does compete with space with the clutch when it is in the full release position, handle all the way down and forward.
I used various components, but the actual lever affair came from a junk yard Suzuki Samurai, I think...it's been some time. This interior shot was early on, but the brake works really well. I use it all the time.
I used the stock lever in more or less the stock location. I bolted it to the t5 with an adapter plate. I wanted to say bolted it up with a "A"dapter kit. Phil
When someone above mentioned Corvette I immediately thought of my '66 (that I stupidly sold 45 years ago). It had the other kind of under dash unit; a t-handled pull knob. '67 was the first floor mounted lever like what was shown. '66 still had the "old fashioned" kind. Has anyone used the under dash pull cable? Seems like it would use the least amount of real estate of any. As for my Model A sedan I plan to use a junk yard floor mounted lever that I've had laying on a shelf for about 30 years. I don't know what it was from but I pulled out of a junk yard car 'cause I liked. At that time I had no use for it.
