gm parts direct .com has it it's about $25 for the cable and another $25 for the brake assy. you'll have to go to the catalog they will ship to your house.

If the handle assembly needs replaced, you have two choices. Either you need to ask a dealer to check (via a computer) all dealerships for dealer old stock (DSO), or you will need to find one in a salvage yard. The handle assembly was never an aftermarket part. The cables, on the other hand, you should be able to get at any auto parts store.
