OT: ‘73 Chevy C-30 Dump Truck Hydraulic Pump Cable

Posted by Blur3992 (N Illinois) on July 01, 2007 at 19:36:54 from (172.162.171.94):

I recently picked up a 73 Chevy C30 with a dump bed on the back. The bed is hydraulically lifted, with a PTO powering a hydraulic pump.

Right now, there is no way to control the pump. There's a lever on the pump that has about 4 inches of travel, going two inches either way from a center detent. Also, there is a small 3/4-inch hole in the floor near the shifter. I assume that there is supposed to be a control cable that mounts in the floor to connect to the lever on the pump.

Is there a specially built cable for this sort of thing? The thickest control cable that Farm and Fleet had was still pretty flimsy. I know I could probably make it work, but it would be nice to have the proper part.
