Parking Brake

Is the intermediate cable the one that gets stretched? Mine is hanging way under the cab, im thinking adjustment wont take the slack out. It appears to have all the brackets, but I will verify after work. Just looking for some things to check/common problems? 68 c10 lwb

In most cases the rear cables freeze up. They're the ones that get all the road slurry. They stick in when the brake is on & don't release causing slack in the intermediate cable.

I agree and add that I have never seen an intermediate brake cable that was stretched so that it could not be adjusted using the nut on the front cable which leads to the pedal.
Are the heavy wire hooks still present for the cable in front of the spring or trailing arm, crossmember?

Ok thanks for the help, one side was not in the guide the other side guide is missing, but if i hold where it should be looks good. Now my intermediate cable is frayed bad it is routed on one side through a triangle opening and on the other side through a round hole on the trailing arm x member, is this supposed to just go underneath the he trailing arm x member?
