I’m having a hard time finding parking brake cables for a few projects. Anyone know of a vendor that sells parking brake cables/housings?

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Right stuff detailing has some for stock applications. On my '69 Coronet I used their 4 wheel disc brake conversion kit, and the stock parking brake cables are about 2" too short, and I can't find a place that makes custom length parking brake cables. FWIW, the conversion came with two equal length parking brake cables that might fit '71-up B and E bodies?

Check O'Reilly's, they have a surprising number of them. (usually have to order them)

Bruin brake cables has stock, or will make anything.

Custom length cables aren't a problem unless you want them to look 100% OE correct. You might have to dig around for someone who can reproduce all the factory stuff. But if you did a 4 wheel disc conversion you probably aren't too worried about 100% OE correct brake cables.
