Parking brake cables for 94 RCSS 4x4 with 10" brakes

Anyone had to replace their parking brake cables with the combo of 1994 RCSS, 4x4, 1500 series, manual transmission, and 10" rear brakes? I am having a very hard time locating the proper rear cables for this thing and anyone who has that combo and successfully installed new cables and they worked I would sure appreciate the part #'s you used.


I worked the parts counter at a local CarQuest for 10 years and I think the listing for this is the worst ever!!! Different companies give conflicting info on what fits what and when I got them through the CQ I used to work at they were such a tight fit the parking brake cable equalizer with the adjuster nut flew apart first time I set the brake more than 4 clicks of the pedal.

Keep in mind all 3 cables were new, the connector for the front to right rear cable, the equalizer plus new shoes, hardware and cleaned and lubed adjusters. Having a stick with no parking brake is a royal PITA.

I have a 92 RCLB. I went through 3 different combinations of parts before I got lucky. It was very frustrating. I recall that even with the correct parts it was ugly actually getting them to work correctly. When new they had to be adjusted all the way out to even come close to connecting up to the shoes. It was a stretch literally. A few years of use and they've stretched a little so it's a bit easier to hook up now.
