My mechanic buddy told me I needed both cables.
Both cables? There are three, one front cable, and R & L specific rear cables.

There are two different front cables: With part time or full time 4WD / If you need the front cable, I'll list it after I find out which type.

Wheelbase, 2WD or 4WD makes no difference on rear cables / SWB and engine/trans makes no difference at all.

1976/77 F100/150 Regular Cab 2WD & 4WD:

D6TZ-2A635-C .. Right Rear Parking Brake Cable / Obsolete / Last MSRP: $43.03 / Dealer cost: $28.83.

HAVEN FORD in Haven KS has 1 = 620-465-2252.

LYLE'S FORD in Eagle Grove IA has 1 = 800-397-6319.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 1 = 606-787-5293.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 21 = 800-543-4959.
---------------------------------------------------------
D6TZ-2A635-D .. Left Rear Parking Brake Cable / Obsolete / Last MSRP: $48.34 / Dealer cost: $32.39.

HAVEN FORD has 1.

BAYER FORD in Comanche TX has 1 = 335-356-2777.

WESLEY OBSOLETE has 2.

STERNBERG FORD in Dale IN has 2 = 812-937-4241.

GREEN SALES has 24.

Note: Ford dealer cables most likely NOS (New Old Stock) genuine Ford parts. Green Sales reproduces park brake cables.

I don't know if Wesley's cable are NOS or Green Sales repro's. Ford dealers will also likely be cheaper than Green or Wesley.

D6TZ-2853-B .. Front Parking Brake Cable-Use with Part Time 4WD / Obsolete / Last MSRP: $49.19 / Dealer cost: $32.96.

Applications: 1976/77 F100/150 Regular Cab 4WD SWB & 133" wheelbase.

DICKERSON MOTOR CO. in York SC has 1 = 803-684-4225.

PLEASANTVILLE FORD in Pleasantville NY has 1 = 914-769-1800.

GREEN SALES CO. has 6.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS has 8.

Call around for the best price on this cable and the rear cables.

Obsolete parts prices vary wildly from one source to another.

EDIT: I added more sources for the rear cables, also listed the original prices.

Almost 40 years older than you! Notice I edited in more sources for rear cables and their original prices.
