Chev C15 4x2 E-Brake Cables

Alex

As you have the end fittings any good yacht chandler or rigging shop will be able to supply the correct size cable. They have a huge range of end fittings and proper rated swaging machines. I am sure you could get them "made to sample" What is more they will probably be stainless so when you have to do a replacement check on them in another 75 years you might find you can extend their service life.

Based on the parts lists for the C8 and C15 it appears they used brake parts from the pre-existing Chevrolet parts list (similar to the C8A), unlike the C15A and heavier trucks that used many Ford brake parts. Although the F15 parking brake cable is a * part, from what I can see it looks like it has more in common with the rest of the Ford designed brakes than the Chevrolet design.

I found late 1930's chev commercial , ute or pickup park cables fitted perfectly on the C8.Got them from the chev guy at Cheltenham ,Melb. He retired and closed the business.

Thanks for the tip Robert. I've bought from Jim Carter before, so I will give him a try.

Picked up a couple of NOS brake cables from Mike Borth (http://www.borthautoparts.com), GM part no. 592283. Thanks to Alex for the part number!

They are about 1 inch longer than the original C15 ones, but have the same ends and should work just fine. And they look correct too! Mike may have a couple left, if anybody else needs them.

Thanks for all your help folks.

Hello Owen, have you tried to see if they fit your C15?
