Question

A Dual piston dana 60 sounds like a front axle with disc brakes on it, no cables are required.
" 9" " sounds like it may be a rear differential, again, no cables are required.
How to make them work? you probably can't, go to your local parts place and buy the cables specific for your truck, they are not expensive.

I might be able to help more if you were a bit more clear, sorry.

You have a rear Dana 60 with disc brakes? Was it is a conversion? I didn't know you could get rear discs on that axle.

I think that far back, the e-brake was installed in the tailshaft of the tranny. Take a look for the cables there.
