Umm, measure it.  There's almost 3' of difference (30").  If I had to guess (just a guess) I'd say the difference is long bed vs. short bed.

I don't know, the truck is in your driveway, not mine. ;)

Double check!  Actually if your unsure, get it locally.  The parts jockeys CAN help.

You were looking at 2 different lengths earlier, iirc my intermediate cable was about 120".  But that's for the older style e-brake.  The cables off the drums ran to each framerail.  I think the newer ones ran to the drivers side framerail.
