Parking brake issue

Ordered a driver side
parking brake parking brake
cable for my 1997 4x2 114 wheel base long bed standard cab ranger. On my 3rd cable and all have been too short. Did a ford interchange , still not the correct part. My conduit around the cable is approximately 40". Any ideas why I can't come up with the correct cable?

Welcome to the forum

I would check 1998 model

1997 was last year of Gen 2 Rangers
1998 was start of Gen 3

While almost all parts from Gen 2 and Gen 3 are the same, "almost" is the key word

You could have late model 1997 so has some 1998 parts

I think 98 they switched to 3 cable setup? Mine is two cable and my housing length is around 40-41" I did check 98 and haven't found anything with that housing length.

I think the 98 has a 3 cable parking brake set up. I checked anyways and could not come up with any cable that has a 40" inch conduit length. Thank you for the insight none the less. I do appreciate it.
