Topic: Park Brake cables

[baddog]

I've just finished all the mods and build up of my 85 sr5 xtra cab. I drove it yesterday for the first time in a year and a half and am stoked on the build. The only problem is the park brake cable that goes from the linkage arm under the cab to the equalizer/left rear wheel on the  axle. I can't seem to locate this part anywhere (canada,eh!). has any one got a line on this? All i can find is the cable from the handle in the cab down to the linkage under the cab..... Can't get the truck safety inspected till its fixed. cheers.

Get All pro t-case parking brake, or stop by the dealership and order a new cable, my buddy is a parts mgr. here in SoCal. He can probably get you one. www.ntpperformance.com

I have a almost new cable that goes from the linkage back, off an 82. It was on the truck for like a month.

Hmmmm, I think the cables on an 85 are different, if not, may be interested. Is the allpro kit the way to go?

They had about 15 different cables listed for 1985 PU, maybe one will be what you need. They have fast shipping and excellent return policies. Good luck.

I think so, I have been using that setup for 5-6 years now. As far as your inspection goes,  whats their criteria for passing?

I may have that part that you need, either from a 2nd gen truck, or a taco.  I'll check the taco rear end tommorow, and if its there, take a pic, see if its what you need.
