Yes
My thoughts the 67-72 Cable may be my best bet.
I guess the 66 is a transition year for this

here is the intel i have thus far after speaking with Classic Parts.

The 66 C10 center cable - 4 sizes
a. 94 inches SWB,
b. 119 inches LWB
c. 91.5 inches SWB w/TH 400
d. 115 inches LWB w/TH 400.

the front cable on the drive side is 62 inches; it mimics passenger side tension rod as far as the reach when positioned above the transmission.
I am using 2 frame hooks with the center cable. my center cable is too short.

i ran a string line how i think it should be positioned. i need about 97 inches.

am i missing something here.
granted i have rear disc brakes with the new cables but they look correct.

Re: 66 c10 Parking Brake “Center” Cable

Does anyone have a measurement of the rear brake cable length.?
I was thinking since I upgraded to disc is it possible these are shorter? The set came from Western Chassis.

Any help before I return the center cable? Thanks
