i have a 1976 ford f100 4x4 with a 360 and granny 4 speed manual...anybody have a clue at what cables i need for my parking brake? my mechanic buddy told me i needed both cables but Jeff's Bronco Graveyard offers like 10 diff lengths. Can anybody help? Really wanting to order these tonight. Truck is a SWB.

 

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.

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.

 

i guess you would say it is part time 4x4....it has 2wd or 4wd only, no 4 high or 4 low

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.
