1966 "Ford truck" there are SEVEN different cables.
I asked the seller to list the overall length, and what it (supposedly) fits.

Heck I only figure 3 cables; one for V-8 & one for six cylinders and possible one for big trucks. Thanks Bill for enlighted me on the different types.
Could you explain alittle more on the difference models needed. I realize V-8 & 6's are different.

I have a lead on a company here in Tucson that says they can make any cable you need! Might take my V8 cable to them and see what they say.
