I am building a 1940 Ford pickup, using a 1947 Ford cab. Need help finding a 1947 park brake handle cable. I find brake cables for 1940/41 Ford pickups but not 1947. Is there a difference between a park brake cable for 40/41 and 1947? Thank You in advance.

I'm going to hazard a guess and figure length may be different.
I can't understand why you wouldn't use a '40 cable. You are utilizing the '40 frame, correct?
Cabs are darn close as I recall. Yes?

I agree with Kube on using the '40 cable.
