What's this bracket for?
This is under the driver's side cab floor. Is something supposed to be routed through it? It is about 2.5 inches square and has a center-line hump that hangs below the floor board about 3/8 inside diameter. The image shows the parking brake cable running parallel to it, below the item. The spedometer cable sweeping from the upper-left to the lower-right of the image and the shift linkage at the top. Front of cab to the left of image. View is looking up at the floor of the cab.

I think ras4434 nailed it. Check the underside of the dash next to the steering column for two holes where the handle bracket would have been. Check the tranny code from the vin tag see if it had an OD.

Nope, not an OD cable bracket - at least for '65/'66.
Either end of the OD lockout cable is too large to pass through that.
The OD cable is clipped to the upper side of the frame rail rail, and bolted to the side of the transmission itself.
The parking brake cable is bolted to the inner fender well, and to the secondary cross member, the one that stabilizes the radius arms for the I-beams.

you are all wrong...this bracket which is spotwelded to the floor itself and has 2 cage nuts welded to it and is at the heel of the drivers foot on the underside...this is a 65 cab...this is where the 65 gas pedal bolts to. The 66 pedals are suspended and thus these arent used. I bet your cab has a washer button above the ignition switch if it has windshield washers and I bet the cowl access plates are screwed to the cab by 2 #2 phillips screws placed diagonally...66 and later cabs all use the large oval rubber pop in plus.
66 electric windshield washers are activated by pulling on the wiper **** on trucks with 2 speed wipers. However, since this is a 65 cab, if it has electric washers, it most likely has the button above the ignition switch.
