Heater cable-1983 D150 - 04/07/20 08:02 PM

Need some help finding out the part number for the heater control cable on my 83 D150, mine's broken. No numbers I can find on it. Where could I look up to find a number for it so I can possibly find a replacement? Any help is appreciated!

Pretty slim pickin's for old goats around here anymore. Picked one up off a 91 or 92 and it was about 8" shorter! down

There are places that can make cables. I thought I had one saved in my favorites but I don't have access to my PC now. Maybe a google search?

That might just be an option if I cant find a replacement. My original is stamped TEFLEX CORPORATION or INCORPORATED I forgot right now. I wonder if they're still around? work

I bet a throttle cable off an old junk lawnmower can be cut down and used. I made a manual choke cable out of one.

Otherwise, like Jonsey says about having one made. Motorcycle shops can make one up for you.
