M816 hoist winch cable replacement

[pistonring]

I have a main hoist cable to replace on my M816 wrecker. I am using a three part line if it makes a difference. I have TM 9-2320-260-20-3-4 and it explains the change out well. I would like to have a new cable on hand when I take the old cable off so I can put it back together the same day. Can someone help with the size and length of cable needed? I could measure with a tape measure but I would rather do it the right way and start with the right length the first time. Any particular grade or type of cable recommended? What do you guys use?
Thanks,

I get this info when I looked up the wire rope part number(7699767)

This is the same cable that is used on the M936 wrecker. (in the TM 9-2320-272-10 for the M936 it has a lenght of 95 feet 5 inch)
