Just wondering. Will original emergency brake cables hook up to a Camaro rear end? Thanks

Nope. Unless you want to do some very creative metal work on the backing plates to fit the odd angle cable entry and modifying how the cable ends attach to the newer e-brake mechanism.

I'm in the same boat. You might wanna look at Lokar- they have some customizable cables for our trucks. I've got a newer GM axle in mine as well, and need to sort out the parking brake cables pretty soon.

hi guys I read your post and wanted to ask you guys a question

I know you guys went with a newer rear but if you had itto do over again would you stick with the torque tube and rear ?

I used these guys, http://www.controlcables.com/parking-brake-cables-1/

The made 1979 GM 10 bolt parking brake cables with 1937 ends on them. I simply hooked them to the stock '37 brake rod and adjusted like normal.
