E-Brake Cable for 76 Highboy
I am restoring a 76 highboy and I need help finding the entire e*brake cables. When I took it apart about 5 years ago they were so rusty I just kept a 4 foot piece of it attached to the e-brake peddle and a foot long piece attached to the brake drum. I recently drove to in-line tube in Shelby Township to purchase new brake lines for my highboy and took my e-brake pieces with me. They felt the closest e*brake assembly they had was for a 1977 F*250 4x4. I think in 77 the Highboy was only made halfway through the production year. They gave me a blueprint of the cables for the 77 and honestly it looks like it would work. The overall measurements look close but if your an inch short, well you know. Does anyone know if this 77 would work on my 76. Or does anyone have the specs for an e-brake cable for a 76 highboy. In-line tube does not stock these 77 cables. If you order they will make them up and if it does not work their is no return. (Cha Ching Cha Ching) Any advice would be appreciated

Check out bronco graveyard. They have a complete line of cables and list the actual lengths. And if it doesn't fit you can send them back.

Thanks for the quick reply Number Dummy. I'm going to need you a lot more through this restoration. U-Line Tube gave me these dimensions (Front Brake cable overall length is 90 3/8") Rear Brake Cable overall length is 77 5/8" so if I'm reading this right I think these would work
