Parking brake cable bracket location.

Seems that when I replaced the frame section on my truck I forgot to measure the location of the parking brake cable bracket near the fuel tank.
Its the bracket that holds the ends of the cables that run to the backing plates.

Could one (or more) of you fine gentlemen who has access to a CC truck measure the distance between the rear edge of front cable bracket (approx under the driver's seat) and the front edge of the rear bracket? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Tim,
Measured hooked on to the front edge of the back of the front bracket to the front of the rear bracket is 77 inches.
Minus the thickness of the two steel brackets to get the inside measurement, say 76 and 3/4 inches.

I hope you have enough yellow paint for all your custom metal work, as you don't want to have to change accent colors this late in the game.

Thanks for the # Ollie! Getting a little low on yellow paint. Down to 6 rattle cans and a couple quarts. I need to save some of that for dozer projects.
