The parking brake cable stuff is missing. Need to go jyard shopping. What year trucks can be donors? 1500 the same? It does not have front anti-locks.

Probably going to need the parts from a 2500, or 3500.

I would think that any 94-02 would work.

I am having g a huge prob finding correct park brake cable for my 97 2500. Fr my research, this Mopar #52009105 cable has-been discontinued for years and is only specified for 94-99 with ext cab-shortbed. Aftermarket cables all seem too short on right side, not sure how long my original was. Never dreamed it would be this much of a nightmare to find the correct one. Truck has never had an extension cable, not sure why it is spec in haynes mnl.

I had to change my parking brake cables a while back. The extension cable is sometimes used depending upon the length of the frame/truck and is only used on the main cable coming from the parking brake pedal. I went with aftermarket parking brake cables that went to each rear wheel, in addition to the extension cable. Once you look at the lengths available online (Advance Auto, O'Reillys, etc.), you can get under your truck to take a measurement to determine which cable will fit your needs. The equalizer/adjuster was and likely is still available thru the dealer. I had to go through this exercise when I swapped from a drum brake Dana 60 rear to a disc brake Dana 60 rear from a later model 2nd gen truck.
