(53 3/4 ton chevy). I don't have the piece to connect threaded cable end to the plate on end of tube. I'm planning to just make a couple turnbuckles to connect 'em....... unless someone has another suggestion. Just to verify, I'm talking about the cables which go to each rear wheel, not the one from front of cab. Advice appreciated

I bought the truck frame with cables already installed, so PO must have used the wrong ones. Rather than buying new new cables, I think I'll make an extension piece. Thanks for your help........
