I could still use some help on this one....
I ordered a couple of parking brake cables as they were for 47-54 Chevrolet pick-ups. The overall cable length is 41" and the housing length measures 29". I put one in place to check the fit. The overall length is fine; however, the cable housing is too short by 3". When compared to what I removed from the truck the cable housing is clearly way too short. I can secure the cable to the backing plate and the other end does not come close to where it should install on the frame rail. I've contacted several vendors and all of their cables measure roughly the same, 41" and 29". The cable housings that I removed are rusted, damaged, and likely not rebuildable, if that's even an option?
Any ideas or suggestions?
