Need help identifying a cable

[rkwhite61]

I'm about to finish up my swap (v6 to v8)/frame off rebuild and I ran across the cable in the pics below. I need help identifying it. I've looked everywhere and have not been able to find anything. I also don't see a similar cable anywhere on my '01 Suburban. It looks very similar to the transmission cable, but is only about 2 foot long (camera in the pic for size reference). Transmission cable is currently installed and shifter works, e-brake cable is installed and working. Hood latch cable is installed and working. The truck is a '99 that had a v6. Wondering it is only related to the v6 somewhere or perhaps something with the seats (since the interior is gutted). Ideas?

Park brake?

Park brake?

park brake cable is already installed.. unless I did something wrong. cable comes in from underneath and connects to e-brake mechanism/handle. Seems to be working, again unless I did something wrong.

It almost looks like a camaro shift cable

DBW or DBC?
Looks like there was a firewall grommet on the cable from the DBC V6. Is there a square/rectangle part right before the boot on the opposite end?

Original v6 was DBC (as is my swap). I do not see any empty holes anywhere in the firewall - even put a shop light inside the truck and then looked from the outside looking for light. Didn't see any light. Tried the opposite by placing the light in the engine bay and looking for light inside the cab. Nothing. Went back and looked at pics I took of the v6 and there are only two cables, that I can see, which are used - throttle and cruise (you can see them in the pic below). The two cables present in the pic are accounted for and are currently being used. Maybe this fricking cable I'm looking for didn't even come off of the truck - could have accidentally been tossed in my parts.

It's the shifter linkage, well half of it. The one end goes on tranny. Other is the adjuster that's under the driver door

Yep shifter linkage, shortest one ive ever seen, the fat end goes on the trans the other end runs up through the floor board and up,the steering column to the gear selector, but all the ones ive seen are about 6+feet long.

I too believe its a trans shift cable, but out of a car. I do not believe it was from a truck.

I installed a shifter cable on a 5.3 turd Gen camaro swap that looked just like it! Even the same length.
