4th Gen rear end in 3rd Gen question
So I'm swapping my worn out 3rd gen (85 z28) rear end for a newer 4th gen rear end its out of a 94 camaro. But having a problem with the parking brake cables. I might be able to use the driver side stock cable but definitely not the passenger side cable as its way too short. Anyone whose done this swap could you tell me what parking brake cables to use?

You don't say if the rear is equipped with drums or discs. If the latter, check the following link:

More about combination valves, master cylinders, and parking brake cables in the 10-Bolt FAQ sticky.
