Longer E-Brake Cable from the drums for a 14bolt conversion? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jason915 · 04-10-2013, 05:29 PM

I am in the process of converting my 1/2 ton short bed 71 GMC that is lifted 4" to a 3/4 ton using a 14 bolt from a 76 C20. One of the issues is that the e-brake cables from the drums are close to 24" and too short to work with. Does anyone know if I can get longer cables? I will proably hit the JY on Sat but just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what they did.

Thanks

Just got a set from Inline Tube for my 71 K10. They will make exact duplicate of original in any length you need. I think they were about $70 each for custom length. Not cheap, but very nice quality.
