It's the buzzer I love the most. Makes me feel alive. Makes the V8's dead.
Can you post a picture? Dorman makes some parking brake cable replacement ends, as well as some cable joiners for some GM application.

Hmm, I'm not sure how the u shaped ends attach from that photo.

The Dorman ends seem to be a clamp style:

and

I've also heard of making a swage end out of some rod stock, crimping it on in a vise, but leaving a bit of the cable end poking through. They then weld a bit of the end with a mig to ensure nothing slips out. Perhaps something like that? You could theoretically join the two cables with that crimp you shared as well. They also make bolt on ones of those too... Pretty strong.
