It was a very good fit for my 55 but I'm different. My driveline might be a little longer than stock.

I am needing a longer cable b/c of H55 swap. From what I understand that is about 4" longer than 4-spd and case.

I just replaced my PB cable today. There is a single metal clip (26) that is bent into place in the groove to hold the cable in place into the backing plate for the 4 sp transfer case. A crappy design but adequate, I guess.

Do you know what your parking brake cable p/n is?
I am finding 46410-60092 as a potential match for a 40 series parking brake cable.

I'm sure you've realized by now that the 40 and 55 parking brakes are mirror-image of each other, so the backwards wavey washer would be different from the frontwards wavy washer. Sorta like a reverse threaded nut.
I don't remember that washer being wavey at all.
The parking brake cable that Toyota (and everybody else) sells now (for a 40) is a bit longer than the original '74 55 cable. I need the extra length for my doubler and it fit just fine.

Same question for you sir, except it looks like you might have gotten your goods from Kurt.

I am finding Toyota p/n 46410-60092 as a potential match for a 40 series parking brake cable. That is not a match as it has a T at the end, vs the eyelet that a 55 needs.

Shoes came from Kurt, cable came from ebay or amazon or something similar. just google parking brake cable FJ40, sometimes they list the length.
I bet Georg knows just what you need and probably has it in stock...

He is a handsome one. Does he like to play fetch?

It seems someone was selling a slightly longer cable that would accommodate the 5 speed.

He is very playful, and social! On Sunday he was sitting on the couch w/ our boy watching football. Just chillin'...
I have not checked for fetch. I might not. We have a Border Collie and a GSD. They both live for Ball. I am not sure I need another creature pestering me to play fetch!

In a happy accident, I found this thread: 1977 FJ40 H55F Extended Parking Brake Cable - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1977-fj40-h55f-extended-parking-brake-cable.1184824/#post-12886487

In it, they mention cables 46410-60021 and 46410-60050.

46410-60021 is supposed to be 64" long, while 46410-60050 is supposed to be 68" long. The cable I took off is ~46" (I think). That cable was somewhat tight, but what am I going to do with an extra 20"? (Yes, that is exactly what she said.)

46410-60021 is for a 07/1970-01/1975 FJ40 w/ a 3-speed.

46410-60050 is for 09/1973-01/1975 FJ40 w/ a 4-speed.

Interesting that some 40s had a 4-speed in 09/73. 55s got 4-speed (I think) in 01/1974.

Here you can see the wave washer between the cable and the backing plate:

I ordered one of each from the local parts counter, they said I could bring my old cable in and choose the one I want.

Well the 46410-60050 p/n no longer returns a good hit in the Toyota system, but there are no redirects. My parts guy thought that was odd.

So I did get a 46410-60021:
