Parking brake cable ?'s

I have a 1968 F350. I can't find parking brake cables for it anywhere. Lmc and the like have them for a f100 and a f250 but nothing for a f350. Are they all the same with length being the difference or is there a mounting issue that is different.

Does anybody know where to find cables for a 350?

Thanks in advance
Will

Inline tube makes custom cables, which is about the only option since they are not available commercially.
I'm in the same boat with a camper special, cables just are not available.

I am gaining a whole new respect for the help that NumberDummy gives.
I have the MPC and I can't find 1/5th of the info he can find in seconds.
My hat is off to him and a frosty beverage if I ever meet him.

which cable are you needing the # for and what is the wheelbase for the F350(158.8" ?)

Any possibility they are the same as a later year truck.

This truck is about to take a major road trip. I need to change the cables and repack the rear wheel bearings. Was hoping to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Bill,

Thank you again for all the help.

As forthe axle question. It's an f350. Full float Dana 70

Phone number/location not listed under C7TZ-2A635-A & C7TZ-2853-L because that would be redundant.

Go for it then, but mine is self lubed.

Bill, mine measure shorter

Bill,

I apologize for the phone number question. I didn't see them at first.

My cables measure shorter than what you listed. The right measures 67" from drum to center piece and the left measures 63.

I know that there is more cable in the drum but I can't imagine it being almost an extra 10 inches.

Were there two different Chassis lengths on the f350s

As for the axle question. I have no history of my truck. I have to take the axles out and such to change the cables so I might as well change te leaky seals and and put fresh grease in there.The Dana 70 has self lubed bearings, it's a good practice to take it apart and clean it every once in a Blue moon. Even the factory service manuals say to do that.

I saw you have a 71 dump. Sounds like a cool ride.
