Ok, I've been searching and looking at several of the threads on parking brake cable parts and routing. I haven't seen any photos of a 4wd Blazer cable routing. I'm trying to sort out what the PO has on my 71 Blazer. It looks to me like the intermediate cable is too long on mine. It measured at about 69.5 inches. But it looks like some of the guides are wrong or missing as well. My cable makes a big "Z" shape and is run through an obviously homemade looking eye bolt in a crossmember just forward of the rear diff.

Does anyone have pics of a 71 4wd Blazer intermediate cable and the guides? Are the guides the same as the pickups or different for a Blazer? I need to know who much of mine is wrong.
