Default Clutch Cable Help...

I am having a problem and I'm hoping someone here can help. My truck is like Frankenstein's monster and almost NONE of the parts are factory. My clutch cable in particular came from an unknown Caterpillar and I don't know where to look for a replacement. It broke on me in the national forest a month back and I ended up just welding it back together and putting it back in but I need a replacement and I just don't know where to look. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated, thank so much!

Welcome to Truck Forums.
Why can't you order the OEM ?

The OEM parts will not fit in the current configuration as I have way to much lift, it disengages when the frame twists. I currently have a cable from a random tractor, there are no part numbers on it except for a plate welded on it which says "Stanley Strong Tie" and a cable measurement. I just need a sufficient cable and I can make it fit, I just don't know where to look.

Try a semi truck repair shop.
They make lots of different cables for different applications.
