Parking brake cables - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DPI Drive Products International. WE buy product from them . Went into their shop and saw the pieces required to build the cables. The only piece they do not have is the ball for the front cable clevis that attaches to the brake lever. I'll have the barrel style installed instead. I'm building a 63 on a 64 Chevrolet K10 SWB frame.

I have a 65 GMC K1000, I cant find a parking brake cable either, everywhere i look only has them for 2wd, anyone know where to find one for 4wd? inline has one but it does not have option for long vs short bed (mines long) any other places anybody know of?

Are the ebrakes that different on the 4x4 ? if the hole in the backing plate for the cable sheath is the same diameter, (so that the expanding prong "spear" connector will go through the hole and grab and hold), I would think you can use the 2 wh drive version.

as far as long wheel base, you can just build any length of cable extension you might need. probably $10 of stuff from home depot, or maybe a connector from LMC or inline.com

Give inline a call. I took some measurements since they didn't have any for mine either, and they were able to custom make me a pair. They work perfect!
