Parking brake issues

OK, I'm new to this, and to trying to fix up old trucks in general. I recently purchased a 1979 ford f150 302 and one of the first items on my list is to fix the raking brakes so it stays in my driveway so i can work on it... question is I'm trying to find the entire cable assembly from the drum brakes to the front of the truck.
I do have the pedal and the line running from the cab but it is too short to reach to the back. Also there are lines running from the drums now to what I think is the equalizer bracket? But it feels like the passenger rear is seized.

I need help diagrams or where to go to get this stuff?
Sorry for the long post.

I just bought new cables for my short bed 4x4. Broncograveyard.com has them. They also have good tech support if you call to determine which parts fit your truck.
