Lightbulb Parking brake cable and routing

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the correct cable/s and routing for my 88 s10 blazer 4x4, it was completely ripped out before I got it and I cant find any reference online, also the cable from the parts store is too short on its own so I'm wondering what to do now, if anyone could take some pictures of the brake cables under your 82-92 s10 4x4 please share those pics so I can figure this out, the focus is on the right rear cable thats the one that is missing completely, thanks and Blessings

I have an 89 S15 Jimmy 2WD. I have attached pics of the E-Brake Cables. There is a total of 4 cables. 1. Brake Pedal to the equalizer, 2. Drivers Side Cable, 3 Passenger side cable. 4. Connector cable to connect the driver's cable to the passenger side cable. You end up with a continuous loop of cable from the equalizer to each side of the vehicle. Bruin brake cables have the cables you need.

driver's side bracket to the wheel. (Bracket is outside of the frame rail)

Passenger side bracket

Front brake cable from the pedal through the frame.

Front cable, equalizer bracket. Drivers side cable.

Looking forward showing right, left and extension cable.

Passenger side rear bracket



Showing the 3 cables that make a continuous loop from the equalizer bracket.

Here is a link to Bruin Brake cables. I replaced all my cables from Bruin Brake cables. https://bruinbrakecables.com/

The hardest part for me was replacing the front cable from the brake pedal. Remving the cable from the pedal assy. is a real PIA.

I was on the Bruin's ebay store and in the search block I used S10. It appears that the Intermediate (extension) cable is longer for the 4WD. That is most likely the reason the parts store cables seem to short.

Thank you so much sir, I'm not sure if the 2WD is the same routing as the 4x4, I will take some pics of what I've got and post. Thank you! I really appreciate you

The cable thats in my passenger bracket is going to the driver side wheel where it seems fitting, is this correct for 4x4 models or did someone do this wrong before I got it?

And the cable in my driver side bracket was ripped out , this is whats got me mixed up
