71 3/4T Park Brake Cables (D60 Rear)
Having a difficult time finding new "rear" parking brake cables (they are normally sold as "front", "intermediate" and "rear" - but looking specifically for the rear portion that connects from the intermediate cable to the brake backing plate) for the following combo:
71 C20 Long Bed Leaf Springs Dana 60 Ordered them from inline tube, then they called back and said "oops" we can't get them.. Classic Truck Parts and The Truck Shop list them for C10 only. LMC lists them fro 3/4 ton, but for 67-70 only (with leaf springs)... (Cripes, they even have em for LONGHORNS, but not for a standard long bed with leafs in 71. Brothers only lists them up to 1970, then 73 and up (argh). Anyhooooo, is there something ODD about a 71 rear parking brake cable? It's a D60 rear, so it does have the screw-in mount to the backing plate that is specific to a Dana. But, most of the places I called were familiar with that and had that type in stock, but just not for a 71 LWB 3/4t with leafs. I can probably refurbish what I've got, but have been redoing the entire brake and parking brake systems because mine were pretty trashed, and have orderd the front and intermediate ones - so would like to get the rear ones to go with. Was a little frustrated with inline tube... they shipped the rest of my order and sent me an "oh sorry, not in stock, what do you want to do" email. I might not have ordered the front and intermediates if I knew I couldn't get new rears. But, I probably need em anyway, even more than the rears. They did offer to make a custom set, but I didn't even want to know what that was gonna cost. Just wondering if anyone might know where I can find that specific combo's rear park brake cable... Thanks all! |
