Whoa there! It is not so simple as going to the store and buying cable. Danchuk sells retractors, which work perfectly, but the cables were several inches too short for my '58. The cable is reverse wound, not your everyday cable, but suppliers will have it. The balls on the door-end need to be swaged also,which requires a special tool.
I ended up sending the retractors to a fella out east who specializes in nos cable. He replaced the new retractor cable with nos, and reswaged the balls on the door end. Perfect fit!!
