Re: Question about new Parking Brake Cables

While I admire your drive for originality, this is not NCRS, and I doubt these trucks will ever be subjected to that kind of judging.

I'm using my originals. Just cleaned them up and made them look nice.
Thanks J............Mine aren't worth a clean. The intermediate cable is frayed, I jacked up the front trying to pull it from the frame (which turns out should have been an easy removal), and the rear dust boots are shot.

From my angle I agree, there doesn't seem to be a value using NOS, other than it works. Odds are good one of our finer dealers have something nice, such as Wes.
