My '72 Park brake cable? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dingesb · 02-27-2011, 01:45 AM

I had my '72 3/4 ton in the shop getting some work done and the idiot mechanic cut the driver's side park brake cable.

I'm trying to find a replacement for it but I'm not having any luck....anybody know of some place I could check with? LMC and other places don't offer one for a long bed 4x4. The passenger side cable is good as well as the cable that connects the two at the back. Any help would sure be appreciated!! Thanks!

Personally, if you want new, I'd wander over to the Vendors area here on
the board and ask. Like most folks in the trade, they are your best bet
since they make their living sourcing parts. And they know our trucks.

If used is good, then look at the parts board for a seller parting
a like truck. You can't post a want-to-buy ad, unless you
are a subscriber, but you certainly can shop there. And go talk
to that shop and see if they will pay for the part they broke.

Good Luck!

Thanks guys! I went to Inline Tube and am ordering one today. $59 for one seems a little high but the quality seems to be very high! Thanks for the link Fastfun!

I got mine at NAPA, $15 per side a coupla years ago. I think Inline is high on everything because they are a specialty shop.

I checked with our local Bumper to Bumper and they couldn't get a long bed one, neither could S & W, LMC, or Classic Industries. Our closest Advance is in Hays so it'd be about 1 1/2 hours away so I never bothered with them. Guess I should've checked Napa here in town but I never thought about them!

I checked w/ the local NAPA last year and they couldn't get me any. I need the whole set-up though. As a side bar: How do you tell the difference between the T305 & T400?
