Choke cable for 69?

[Azar]

Hey all,

Picked up a 69 LWB fleetside a few weeks back, it ran but wouldn't idle and couldn't drive because the brakes needed bled. Ended up rebuilding the carb, which is an edelbrock 1405 (600 CFM with manual choke) doing a few other things but it's hard to start cold because my choke cable is bound up.

The truck sat for around 18 months, through 2 harsh Indiana winters. I think that didn't help matters. Haha. Anyways, I'm thinking the choke is routed poorly and is just too long for this truck. But I don't think the 69 came stock with a choke, so I don't know where to go for a replacement.

It seems that the early to mid 60s had choke cables...Would one of those work? Or do you guys have a better setup? Thanks in advance!
