Anyone have any idea where to get parking brake cables for a 1945 1 1/2 ton truck. I have searched but can't seem to come up with anything.

Have you called Inline Tube? They make custom cables.

Thanks Mike. The best part about Inline Tube is that they aren't far from me. Didn't know they offered this service

I found NOS ones on Ebay - they come up every 3-6 months is seems. If you just need a working pair - I can have them ready for sale but they are not good enough for a restoration project. To get the cable loosened up I place the cable in my charcoal grill (coals, not gas) until it was cherry red. Than made myself some dinner.
