Here I go guys--first post on this site. Sorta like giving a Crescent wrench to a monkey---you know sooner or later, something is gonna get screwed up!!! Anyhoo, trying to find replacement park brake cables for my '50 3100 with original driveline in place. Two sets purchased from same supplier (plastic jacket on outside of sheath)---both sets alike, in that I cannot get the two brackets that bolt up to the backing plate to squeeze together in such a manner that the two bolts that fasten them to the backing plate will go through the holes. The brackets have about a half-hole offset when squeezed together. All the supplier catalogs I have found all appear to have the same cable. Anyone out there have this same problem and/or a solution???

I can't help you with the problem but I can welcome you to the Stovebolt Forums. Some one should have you an answer shortly.

In the mean time why not go to the "greasy spoon" and introduce yourself. And tell us where 'bouts in Texas, homeboy?

Welcome to the Bolt. Blue Bonnets are in full bloom down here and your post came at just the right time. I was looking through the Bolt before ordering a set of E brake cables that I had cut free when I removed the rear on my 3600. If you have an issue with cables I will sit here and fish for suggestions before I order mine.
You can be certain someone will take the bait before long. The best answers on Stovebolts can be found here.

I waited a long time for NOS to apear on E-Bay. They are there from time to time. Call Stacy at Antique Auto in Arlington Texas. 817-275-2381. Or ask JIMBOW something, here on this site. Sorry JIMBOW. Don't remember the whole handle.

It is JIMBO59CHEV. Look in the truck parts for sale forum. I have bought several things from him and have been pleased with the price and condition of his used parts.He has a place on ebay too.
