    I don't see why one from a NBS truck wouldn't work work just fine. You may have to work on the hole where it passes through the firewall just a little but that should be easy enough.

    Not to sure on your 1974 truck but on my 1992 I used the 1999 throttle cable. I just had to shape the hole going through the fire wall so cable would fit.
