Comment and a question:
Comment... for those wondering 'why' their pedal stopped ratcheting when depressed, the pencil points to where a squirt of WD40 is needed and it's fixed!
Question... my 1988 F250 has a 155" wheelbase and my OE cable measures 117" long.
However, Rock Auto and Autozone show the 155" wheelbase truck cable being 109.56" ... so now what?
Yes I snapped a mounting stud off... another headache to fix.

Update... AutoZone part #C1247 (front brake cable) pictured above worked just fine on my 1988 155" wheelbase F250.
While installing I had some worries as it's some 5" shorter vs the OE cable I took out.
I also cleaned and used a graphite 'drying' lube on all moving brake-pedal assemble parts and all that is back to working like new again.
My truck now has all 'new' Parking-brake cables.
