It would have been helpful if the seller had listed the length and the application.

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.

"1966 Ford truck"

1965/66 F100/250 352 2WD.

1966 F100/250 4WD 240/300 I-6 / F350/600 240/300 I-6.

1966 F100/250 240/300 I-6 except 4WD and smog pump.

1966 F100 2WD 240 I-6 with smog pump.

1966 F250 2WD 240/300 I-6 with smog pump.

1966/68 P350/500 240/300 I-6.

1966/68 N500/600 240/300 I-6.

If you include Econolines, add three more.

And there are two more used only in 1965: F100/250 240/300 I-6 4WD / N500/600 240/300 I-6.

I asked the seller for more details....you know...EZ stuff...like what the hell is the length and the application.

Get out the 15 inch ruler.....LOL

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.

If you can't find a original....Lokar makes a universal throttle cable for around 35-40 bucks and they are easy to retrofit, i did one for my 66.
