Thanks

part # K-4342-47A 68"
It was slightly longer than the steel sleeved cable I removed but works just fine. Lubricate it well with lithium grease before installing.

I've been figuring it out as I go along. Finding this site has helped immensely with vehicle specific information.
I still have the truck because my friend now lives in an apartment and has no place to keep it. He also doesn't know anything about working on vehicles. Therefore, I keep doing work on the truck while he pays for the parts and I drive it like it's my own.
When he needs to haul stuff, like moving furnature to and from his storage unit, he comes over to pick up the truck and leaves me his Mercedes SL to drive. Not a bad deal, I think.
I've put over 4000 miles on it in the last two years.
