thanks Grigg. They reference 3/4 ton truck. Not knowing off hand the length of the 1 ton truck would you know if the 3/4 ton brake cables are long enough for a 1 ton chassis and wheel base? tom

I don't know off hand either but this page in the parts book (and the one previous) shows that they are different lengths, and even gives overall length

Tom, If I recall correctly, I ordered proper E-brake cables for a 1951 1 ton( Huck Brakes) from Jim Carter Parts BUT I needed to reuse some parts from my original set-up to complete this brake set up. You may find a previous post of mine for this information. Jerry

Thank you to all for the responses. I did order the eBay brake cable (link Grigg provided) and was able to submit an offer for less than the asking price and the seller accepted it. Every little bit helps! tom
