71 K20 E-Brake cable help

Hi everyone, I'm new on here, I hope someone can help. I have a 1971 K20 4x4 longbed. I've been trying to locate replacement rear e-brake cables. LMC has a listing for 2wd 3/4 but not for 4wd. Can anyone tell me if the 2wd cable is the same. Thank you.

Re: 71 K20 E-Brake cable help

A K has leaf springs and a C likely has coils. I don't know if it makes a difference. I know others on here bought their cables from inline tube. Even with a small 2 inch lift you might need longer cables.

I had the same issue with the aftermarket kit not having all the parts needed, I got all the parts for mine (cables/equalizer/hardware) from DLTruck1973, he even cut off the riveted mounting bracket and included that too!

Hey, Welcome to the site! Inline tube will take care of you and stock specs are fine with up to 4" lift.
