Some Interior Reassembly Questions

Making some good progress on my 79 Supercab reassembly. For my first Ford, it is going better than expected, but have a few issues I could use some help/advice on:

1) Any ideas on how to run the dome lamp harness down the A pillar?
2) On the plastic connector that attaches the door release rod to the exterior door handles I bought new ones from DC, but I can't figure out how to attach them - is there a trick to it?
3 The AC ducting that goes to the dash registers on the ends of the dash - should those be installed before or after the wiper switch, headlamp switch and glove box liner?

Thanks.

You can use something like a coat hanger to fish the wire through the A-pillar.

I lucked out, and that was the one piece of wiring left in my replacement cab when I bought it.

Ducting before others, the clips press into the hole, then the rod end pushed through the center, then rotate the clip to snap over the rod below the 90.

Bill does anyone have any 22152 (door handle) or 22134 (door lock) actuating rods for sale? Also do you know the P/N for the support bracket that bolts to the back of an AM/ FM stereo radio? Thanks a million.

22134 is right and left specific (left is 22135). I'm not sure that radio you are attempting to install is correct (see your radio thread).
