I had one good one (metal) and one was bad, replaced it with a cable from NAPA and is is steel with a rubber outer shield, the rest of my e brake cables were good. I have 2 donor 65 chasis's with the bulkier e brake cables on them, Kieth

Hey Kro, nothing to report! My poor truck has been on the back burner lately. My daughter's birthday was the 10th and I spent my play money on her. Then our renter decided to move out leaving me in a bind so we had to make the tough call and move back in so I'm in the process of doing that for the next week or two. I'm going to be putting my carpenter/painter hat on and do some upgrades before we move back in which is going to leave no time to work on the truck sadly. I'd much rather get sweaty and filthy working on my truck than sweaty and filthy working on my house. Go figure

As to the E-brakes on my truck. I don't have them hooked back up at the moment. I do know the cables are there but there was some impediment in installing them when I rebuilt the brakes in the back...I just can't remember what it was! I haven't had my coffee yet this morning so that could be why

It's frustrating as I'm only a couple hundred bucks and a few hours work from getting this puppy road worthy! I'm just hoping that the silly season doesn't push out completion even further. I have 3 females in the house though and they expect to be showered with gifts so I dunno how that's going to work out for me. At the very least I can put all my truck parts on my xmas wish list
