Need parking brake cable that FITS! Where to buy?.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oldblue1968chevy · 11-24-2010, 10:31 PM

When I got T boned in my truck 6 months ago my parking brake broke in half, I never got around to replacing it..

A month or 2 ago I bought one from orielly, wasnt long enough to run through the bracket on the trailing arm (Im talking about the cable that comes out of the rear brake drum).

Where can I get a cable that actually fits and works good? Thanks guys!

Check with the site supporter vendors. If they can't help you, Inline tube can make one up if they don't have one in stock.

Ok..Id really like to hear from someone who bought one and had good luck with it, original is out of the question, all the ones ive seen are rusted up shut lol

thanks

You can try these guys Inline Tube
No guarantee that it will fit as I had a tough time with the SS trans lines, and their costumer service blows.

I will say, the quality was top notch compared to the others that I had ordered.
I liked the Inline tube quality so much and just cut and spliced the line to make it work. I just believe they had a bad pattern or something.

ever think about removing the rust and lubricating the cables to put them back in operation// i've done that on many projects over the years with great results// you just need to b willing to work at it

You usually can, unless they have 30+ years of rust. Thats what happened to me.
