Rear E-brake cable question

Post by flyboy2610 »

When I still had the '68 F100 (before it got 'trailerized') I got a set of rear e-brake cables for it from LMC. I now have a '69 F250 CS, and was wondering: Are the rear e-brake cables the same?
The '69 has the frame mounted auxiliary tank, the '68 did not.
LMC does not list a set of e-brake cables for the '69 F250, CS or otherwise.
So I was just wondering if these would work.
LMC part no. 45-3891 for the right, 45-3890 for the left.
It has 2-1/2 brakes, if that matters.
Thanks!

The F250 CS rear cables are different than those on the F100. On the cable as it enters the brake backing plate, you'll see there's a little 'shoe' at about a 45 degree angle ... this is important in finding a replacement. I suggest removing the cable and getting a length measurement before ordering.
Might check with NPD, Dennis Carpenter, NAPA and maybe Green Sales as other sources. Last time I needed one it took awhile to locate one available (can't remember who had it).
Good luck! :)

im pretty sure all rear brake cables are the same on every bump. the front and the equilizer are changed when a underbed tank is installed.

Thanks, guys!
I guess I'll just have to tear into it, and see what I find.
Thanks again!
