This replacement front hood latch release cable is built to restore reliable hood opening on many classic GMC and Chevrolet models from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. It combines a high-density steel core with a plastic-coated outer sleeve and includes the pull handle assembly so you receive a complete ready-to-install cable. Before ordering, verify vehicle fitment using your year, make, and model and check the reference numbers to ensure direct compatibility.
This cable fits a broad range of GMC and Chevrolet models across several years. Coverage includes C/K series trucks, Suburbans, Blazers, Jimmy models, and R/V series variants produced between 1977 and 1991, depending on the exact model and configuration. Always cross-check the part reference numbers listed below with your vehicle.
The cable measures 74.7 inches overall and is designed for the front hood location. Its internal core uses high-density steel wire for tensile strength, and the exterior receives a plastic-coating treatment to resist corrosion and provide a smoother feel when routed through the cowl or grille area. The package includes the pull handle so no separate handle purchase is required.
Installation is typically a moderate DIY task for anyone comfortable removing interior trim and routing a cable through the engine bay. Expect to access the interior kick panel or dash area to attach the handle, then route the cable to the hood latch, securing it with existing clips or mounting points. If your vehicle has unique brackets or routing clips, retain them and replace only what’s worn to preserve factory routing.
This A-Premium cable delivers a new, corrosion-resistant jacket and a reinforced steel core designed for longevity compared with worn originals or low-quality generic cables. Including the handle assembly saves time and ensures the cable interface matches common factory-style pull locations. The part references and broad fitment list make it a practical choice for restoration and maintenance projects on older GM trucks and SUVs.
Who is this for? This A-Premium 74.7" front hood latch release cable is aimed at owners and mechanics restoring or maintaining late-1970s to early-1990s GMC and Chevrolet trucks and SUVs who want a robust, ready-to-install replacement. It's ideal for do-it-yourselfers, professional shops, and classic-vehicle enthusiasts seeking dependable hood-release performance with OEM-style fitment. Always confirm fitment against your vehicle details and the listed reference numbers before ordering.
