Park Brake Cables
Who makes the best Rear Park Brake Cables for a 1970 C-10? I got the ones from the local parts place and I am not really happy with the looks and design of them.

Re: Park Brake Cables
I was able to restore my old ones to show quality, or close enough, by bead blasting them. One of them I did have to shoot with aluminum paint, but you'd be hard pressed to notice.
I had already ordered the LMC ones, and they look fine to me. I just preferred the originals once I figured out how to clean them up. But long story short if you don't have your originals the LMC ones are serviceable. Didn't happen to me, but be careful with any braided cable. If you pull it through your hand and hit a frayed wire, you will be unhappy.

Re: Park Brake Cables
Mine were missing when I got my truck, so I got the rear cables from Inline Tube, thanks to a lot of other members recommendations here. They are pricey, but top notch!

Re: Park Brake Cables
I bought mine from a local parts store and they work great. Not much "wow" factor though, they are just cables.
