Need new parking brake cables for a 8 3/4 axle

Is there a chart or breakdown of the different size lengths available or any part numbers I could use to find?

Trying to find cables for a 1964 A100
Thanks

I may have something in an old Wagner catalog. But many catalogs do list cable lengths.

Have you tried rockauto? Maybe look at other years if not listed for yours.

Rockauto is a great resource for mixing and matching parts. I am using the existing '86 Ramcharger e-brake cables to hook to the Ford Racing drum brakes that are on the Dana 60

I find their listings funky. For example a part that is listed for a 70 Charger isn't listed for a 69 Roadrunner. Even though the same part fits both.
It takes some knowledge of the vehicle you're looking up parts for asnd what might interchange.

Years ago NAPA did list lengths on them.I remember because I bought many for the shop and a few sets for my Ram Chargers.rocky
