I'd rather spend time with my Dad for now(he's almost 80)... but he's going to keep me company this week while I do work on my truck here and there a little at a time. I hope he's here when I install the painless wiring harness LOL

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I got a parking brake kit from LMC, and they don't look anything like what is on my truck... I ordered the part numbers listed for my year, so I don't think I messed up the order on my side...
Anyone know of another place I can get a quality parking brake cable kit complete front to back?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

I recently did the parking brake on mine. The factory cable was in three sections (front, middle and rear). The replacement I bought at O'Rielly's took the place of the front and middle sections. I thought I had the wrong cable at first, but I put it in and works fine. There is a different part number for long vs. short bed. Posted via Mobile Device |
