New here and would like your help

Does anyone know where to get an intermediate brake cable for a 1970 swb 4x4? I measured the old one at 64" or so and I cannot find one this short. Any help would be appreciated.

maybe you can make one from hardware store steel cable and the end collets to connect them.

Have you tried LMC? http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?Page=147 They sell just about everything for these trucks.

You can take a long bed cable and have it shortened to your needed length. I have a bunch of longbed cables that I'm going to take to the local cable shop and get them shortened by 24 1/4" so they can be used on shortbeds. I will double check that number to make sure it is correct.

Thank you all for your help. I found LMC and they did not have it. I thought about making my own but want it to look good and original. I found a place on the net that will make one for about $20 called inlinetube.com. I guess they were all different lengths depending on the transmission and big or small block... So I will put it all together and see if the old one is long enough and go from there but check out that website everyone!!
