throttle cable question

[Chrispbrown36]

I changed mine out on my 87 when I first bought the truck. They come in two lengths and no matter which one ya get they are too long. Even after the replacement it is still a little stiff especially if it sits for a day or two. I can't say that one from a junk yard would be any better or worse. I would assume worse just because it has sat for some time and rusted in the sheathing, but I can't say for sure.
Making some assumptions about your truck (2wd and 350) it shows you need the 23.86 inch cable, which I believe is the shorter one. As I said, it isn't a perfect fit.
