How much more cable do you need Mike?

Ya , how much more do you need ? Now iv got around 9" of lift and mine were prety streched so I lowered mine and moved it back and has worked out quite well .

 

About a quarter of the way down on page 2 you will find what I did

I guess you answered my question, I need to find out how short they are? I donated my stock D35 to a friend with the E cables on it, :doh: & now After 2 Years & 2 Moves, I can't find my stock D44 drums with E cables on them :wall: so i need both cables the from the bed to the backing plates.

 

Nice brop bracket ''86FUBAR''!

very creative, & Nice build :cheers:

 

Any one have any pic's of how to adapt the cable from drums to disc ? :hmm:

I used a Ford clevis for my D44 w. Exploder disks, pic below. Also installed new ebrake cables and had plenty of length w. my 3" lift. They would even work well if they were 3" shorter. I think the stock cables will be long enough for you.
