rear parking brake cables - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

it seems theres no rear cables for my setup of longbed, manual trans, and leaf springs, what gives? its really the only thing that keeps the truck from passing a legit safety inspection and i would like to get them replaced so its not an hour ordeal of getting them released if the pedal is pushed. is it really that much of a difference with a th400 or coil springs that those can't be used?

Try NAPA if you have a store close...

their site only has one listing for them but at least they give measurements, have to measure mine and see if they're close.

Dorman makes them. If you need part numbers I will look them up. Anyone who sells Dorman (we do) can get them.

Inline tube has them, PN 419 for 3/4 ton trucks with leaf springs.

you could pull the old cables out of the casing and clean and lubricate them in an afternoon

One thing to remember is that NAPA stores can get stuff that isn't listed online. New technology isn't always better...

..Go to or call a store if you have one close.
