Parking brake cables for PBR swap

As always, I've done my due dilligence and searched.
As usual, there is SO much information (some of it conflicting) that I can't determine the answer.
Question 1: What are the lengths of the parking brake cables on 3rd gens equipped with PBR rear disc brakes? 1434mm or 1460mm?
I recall having read (I may have asked before!)) that if the vehicle is equipped with a trans tunnel mounted adjuster, then the 1434mm cable is the way to go. Sound right?
Question 2: Has anyone had any experience with the PBR swap onto a Dana 44?
I don't imagine there would be any difference in the cable requirements.

The 1434 is what I used on my 85 (with the tunnel adjuster).
