parking brake cable recomendation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On my 67 with a 9.5 14 bolt I used Camaro rear disc. I used the Camaro cables from Rock auto. Placed/fitted the frame mount then used the cable couplings from Rockauto. If I had to do again I would just leave the drums. But for the intermediate cable I used 1/8 inch stranded cable (TSC), drilled an eighth inch hole in about 1/2 inch length of 5/16 inch solid rod. Squeeze them with a crimp tool then put a hot mig spot on the ends.

Turned my orig emergency brake into a parking brake. To pass Texas inspection I had to depress brake pedal then apply hand brake lever to pass in gear idle.
