The only thing I needed to get in addition to the cables were the two clevis that connect the cables to the parking brake cross shaft arms. The cables already had the rubber boots on the end for keeping out water. They also had heavy rubber sleeves, which I have no idea what they are for. I just slid them up the cable until they were against the heavy shielding that clamps onto the frame.
Keep in mind that the cables I got were for the one ton long bed, much longer than what you might need for a 3/4 ton.
I'll also admit that when I first got them I was confused about how the bracket fit onto the backing plate. I kept trying to make them fit the wrong way. Once I realized how they were supposed to go they slipped right in.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
