Default Parking brake

I have a 96 ext cab 318 4x4 and I don't know what the wheel base is. I'm rebuilding this truck and this is one of the final things I have to do but I have no idea what I am doing at this point. I need to replace the parking brake wire front to back so I was wondering if anyone had the wheel base and or any other helping tips.

i doubt it. all you will probably just get the cable and a clip to hold them in the holes.

i don't think they will. i think you might have to go to a junkyard to get what you need but the part you need should be there. i doubt it is a part people commonly need.
