A good place to buy E-brake cables??

[nytreeman]

Been looking for a place to buy brake cables for my '67 f-350 and '73 high-boy and so far no luck anyone know of a good place?

[nytreeman]

my 67 f350 is a long wheelbase truck too 157" I believe so probably be even harder to find,the main cable I need is the front

Try Dennis Carpenter. They list the 67 F-250 and a couple of parts for the F-350. I checked LMC and Mac's but neither shows the 350 nor the 67 model. I wonder if the dealer might still stock it if it carried over for a number of years. Good luck.

I had trouble finding one for 72 CS. Think ended up going with Green Sales. Finding 'em with that 45 degree shoe can be a challenge.

I have owned an '83 F250, I have a '96 f250, and I've also spent some time messing with an '86 F350. As far as i could see, From '67-96, there are a lot of parts that look the same. If you can't find parts for the old trucks, try from a newer one, especially if your parts guy will let you bring them back if they don't work.

Yes I just talked to him and only thing he could come up with was for a 75 with a 160 - 166" wheelbase so I had him order it have to wait and see if its the same hookup/ends or what

Don, have you tried NAPA? They have always amazed me with the stuff they have listings for that nobody else can find.

I also was given this info on "another" site
1967 F350

Regardless of the wheelbase, the front E-Brake cable is the same.

The 1964/72 Ford truck parts catalog only lists ONE.

The same F350 cable is used 1967/72.

C7TZ-2853-L .. Front Brake Cable-87 5/16" long
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1973/75 F250 Regular Cab 4WD "highboy"

2-D5TZ-2A635-C .. Rear Brake Cable ~ right/left are the same.

There are two different front E-brake cables listed.

Before or after serial number T40,001

Before: C7TZ-2853-L (The same cable your '67 F350 uses)

After: D4TZ-2853-J
