Default Need verification of cable lengths.

I found another issue, but before I go any further I was wondering if someone can verify E brake cable length for 79 F150 2wd w/ 133" WB? What I found says the left (driver) side should be 58 1/2" and the right (passenger) side should be 65 15/16". If this is correct then I found another issue, cables on the wrong side. I admit when I installed the new cables I just matched lengths to the side they came off of. I did't actually check to see which one went on what side. Maybe that's why it took 2 of us to pull things together to connect them. Right now the left is 67" and the right is between 56'-58'. I don't have the right drum apart yet so just a rough guess. I hate bugging everyone on this but my manuals are on safari in the postal service apparently. Almost 3 weeks since I ordered them. I haven't bought a for sale sign "YET". But sakes alive I'm running out of ideas. At least I keep finding things as I dig deeper.

Thanks,
Rory
