Looking for e-brake cables for a short bed Pickup with a Dana 60 rear end. The cables are the ones that bolt to the backing plates. The photo is of the original cables when the truck was a long bed.

I Okie Rigged the cables by shortening them With these clamps, seems to work but it is not done right. Anyone got cables or a lead on some NOS cables ?

That picture looks very similar to the ones on Dana 44. I removed a Dana 44 off my brothers 65 GMC to do a bolt pattern change. Its a short bed. Do you have pictures of what the other end of those cables look like. Is it threaded with 5/16" fine thread? What is the dimension that worked after you did that loop? I might be able to help you with that but would recommend finding new if available.
