Bill, I have to ask why you spent the extra twenty bucks..was the quality that
much better? I am always looking for the best quality I can find.

And, doing a search on the internet (using google.com), I find...
I needed parking brake cables for a 1952 Chevrolet 3/4-ton pickup. I
sent the old ones to these people and got a good set of replacement
cables; they make them. Call 1-800-634-2145 and ask for Earl. (this
is Speedometer Service and Instrument in Portland, Oregon; 530 NW
11th Ave. 97209) My pair of cables were $65 each and $17 UPS COD to
return.
Jim Carter Classic Truck Parts also has these for $45 each. ME290
part no.
