So I've spent a couple days reading threads and talking to parts people to get parking brake cables for RCLB. Everything I've read and everyone I've talked to has had different opinions. The dealer wants me to bring it in, so I'm kind of over searching. This is a 1990 K3500 regular cab, long bed. When my dad had it, they had gotten snagged when getting wood, so he cut them off. So I can't even match them up to anything.

One of posts that surfaces a lot, the guy with a regular cab long bed said his wheel base is 145 which isn't the RCLB wheel base... it should be 131.5. Even at that he was complaining that they were too long. Anyhow does anyone actually know what length cables I need for this?

If you can wait a bit I have a 1988 RCLB and I have some factory cables in the shop still in the box. As soon as it is done raining i will go out to the shop and get the numbers for you.
