Emergency brake cable issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was trying to get my 72 cheyenne ready for a state inspection and the only think stopping me was that my parking brake did not hold because the cable was frayed. I bought a new cable from LMC and installed it yesterday. The truck holds fine in gear, but it doesnt lock up the back tires when driving (it comes to a stop, just not screetching the tires). Im fine with its operation, but im wondering if that is good enough to get my inspection sticker. Like I said, it holds in park and reverse just fine. What do yall think?
