I have a 70 K20 that has been made into a SWB and has been lifted 6". Anybody have any input as to what size of an intermediate parking brake cable I would need?

When I put in my 2" lift I had new ones made three inches longer. Once the lift was in I remeasured. Not sure if that gives you an idea.

i had mine custom built when i put a later 14 bolt under my truck. i believe it was a company called nevada speedometer. they use the ends from your oem cables and build to your specs.

Sounds likey it needs to be custom made. I installed the front and rear cables, then measure the center for fit.
