Tom,
Another thought: do you have the actuator mechanism (handle)? I don't, but a mechanic I use eyeballed the situation and said no sweat to get all parts from junkyard next door.
I am seeking a handle type that flips up to operate, with a knob on the end to adjust the cable-saves crawling underneath. These are found on Step Vans, delivery vans, etc. Catch a UPS guy on a break and eyeball their set up.
If you have the actuator, you can get all the other parts from a brake supply house. I installed new housings from the backing plates forward about 6 ft. You will need a housing from the actuator to a convenient place such as rear of the tranny. Route and attach all housings. Ways to connect all the cables vary-I have seen a triangular plate used. Also, a curved metal part with a hole, sort of like a wire rope thimble, use an eyebolt for main cable adjustment.
-Al, long winded today.
