1964 GMC parking rear parking brake cables.

[MtGMC]

One needs to remember that although the 60s GMCs and Chevys are similar, they are not identical. GMC used Spicer 44 rear ends in the 1/2 ton, and they utilize the cable you have pictured which bolts to the backing plate. I was able to get a replacement from Inline Tubes that was spot on.

Well the rear cables are ordered, $60.00 per side! Ouch! Now if I can just find a pair of parking brake strut bars I can finish the brakes and finally get it out of the shop for it’s first wash since 1989!

I too bought the Inline cables for my 65 GMC half too, short box. Spot on. Not too many choices out there.

You can get the strut from Bills truck shop, in Ontario, Canada. Good guy to deal with.

Are the 1964 GMC brake struts the same on a Chevy?

No idea.

As I earlier posted , I used a set like that, but for an 80’s differential, got them from Rock Auto if I remember correctly, sure wasn’t as much as you got hit for…

The rear brake strut bar is not the same on a GMC, my truck has a Dana 44 rear end and the strut bar has a major offset to clear the backing plate. I ordered the one from Bill in Canada and they do not fit.This is the correct strut bar so I am still searching for them.
