E-brake and shock help

[gmcer]

hey guys thanks for the help so far and trust I'll need more than this! I have a 1950 GMC longbox 3/4 ton, keeping it mostly stock that I put in a 59' 1/2 ton axle in. I need an emergence brake cable, what do I get ? The auto stores don't carry much or don't have a clue to cross ref. up to what year will cross? also had knee shocks that I am putting in conventule shocks in same problem. also having drive shaft issues but will tackle this first. thanks again for your help

e-brake cable i think will work not sure on the shocks tho, do you have a pic of the originals

local parts places will probably not have the brake cable, you will need to look at wrecking yards or after market. In the classifieds there is a guy in eastern Idaho with a bunch of trucks he is parting out. Shocks are basically a measure and go to the store to find something to fit, thats what I had to do. Find a counter person that will look in the Rancho, etc. book that lists the specs for the shock, extended and compressed length, connections, etc.

Look up Controlcables.com, those guys and make any thing to match anything. Keep your stock foot pedel and linkage and he will make a cable to match your rear end.
