rear wiring and parking cable routing

I am in the middle of wiring my truck up. Where is every routing the wires leaving the breaker panel and going to the back of the truck for the lights?


also where does the parking brake cable exit. I don’t remember if I have ever taken the pb apart before and I don’t see any holes where it would exit the truck

Parking brake goes over to the trans cover and out and down through it if it is like my 55 I would think .It snakes from the side handle to the center. I can get a photo in the morn if you still need it. I can't handle the jack just the bud light.

Ok the first photo is of the parking brake lever. The second photo is of the cable coming from the brake handle as it goes up a little in and under the dash then the cable comes back down an goes under the transmission cover and then hooks up to the cables coming from the the left and right brake drums.
Hope this helps you out. On the transmission comer you should be able to see a grove where the cable will lay.
