53 f100 rear shocks mount and e brake mounts

I took apart the back half of my truck and painted it and thought I took enough pictures but surprise I am missing 2 details. There is multiple holes on the upper cross member for the rear shock mount which one does it go in? Also on the inside frame rail where does the ebrake cable bracket mount?

The E-brake cables have a small L-like bracket on each side that bolt to the frame rails. I know not the greatest pics, but best I could do.

As for your shocks, sounds like you have an aftermarket setup. (Maybe a pic would help ID the situation) If it were me, I'd set them in the hole that gives the best amount of travel, doesn't bottom the shock out when suspension is fully compressed, and keeps the shock at mid-travel when vehicle is at rest on the ground.

Here is a pic I have posted in My Garage. It shows where my rear shocks are mounted. Used same hole as original.<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top" width="100%">

Here is the link to My garage pics...It is the only pic I have of the parking brake cable. I will try and get a better pic and post it.
