Can anyone tell me the length of parking brake cable..
I am looking for a LR parking brake cable (Comes out of drum). Went to carquest and they had a couple diff. lengths. Without taking mine off measuring etc I was wondering if someone had theirs apart or knew the length right off.
1968 C-10 LWB Coilsprings 2wd He had a 40" and a 42" *think* THANK YOU! And if you have a used, BUT WORKING cable you'd sell, PM me or something.

I don't know the measurement off hand, but I need to replace mine and only found one from LMC truck. Maybe the measurements are on their website.

Re: Can anyone tell me the length of parking brake cable..
I ended up with several lenghts of stainless steel cable left over from work and it looked to be the same diameter, and since I too needed a new E brake cable, I made my own. I measured how long my old wore out one was, then I got some 5/16 round stock and carefully drilled a hole through it, stuck the cable through and then was undecided, so I used JB Weld to hold the ends on, then I made another and welded the end of the cable to the round stock. I don't know yet if they will work, but I don't see why not.

Re: Can anyone tell me the length of parking brake cable..
Ok, thanks, Ive dealt with inline tube before, great product from what ive seen..
Really wanna buy locally (bought a cable from orielly and it was too short! its easier to return it to store rather than try to send it back via email/ups etc etc etc) Thanks!!!!! Anyone got a good used single cable theyd like to sell, would consider that also

Re: Can anyone tell me the length of parking brake cable..
Mine is a short wheel base, but I think those cables are the same. I have mine off right now so I will go measure them once it warms up a little. Unlike Oreilly's website the napa website actually gives you the measurement. I will let you know in a little bit.

My parking brake cable has been cut off, so I can't garuntee that its the correct lenght still, otherwise I'd get you a measurement.

Re: Can anyone tell me the length of parking brake cable..
The long one is for a leaf spring truck and the short one is for coil spring truck.

www.inlinetube.com sells these, but I don't recall lengths being mentioned in the specs.
