'63 C10 Replacement Parking Brake Cables - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

morethanstock66 · 07-19-2022, 11:09 PM

So one of the first major projects that I am doing on my '63 is my brakes. They are totally gone, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, some brake lines, and the parking brake cables. So, I gathered some parts for the brakes and decided to start on the passenger side rear. I am having significant issues finding replacement cables for my '63. I found some on LMC, so I ordered them. Turns out that they are far too long.. the new ones are so long that they are coil-binding in-between the brakes. See the pictures for refrence from new to the old ones.. Has anyone else run into this issue?

That's awesome. Exactly what I needed, a solid parts list and an upgrade too. Thank you Rocknrod!

What do yours measure??
I think I still have a brand new set for short bed. I never used them. I will check and see what they measure. You may need mine.
