E-Brake Question

Hey Everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving. So, since i am home from school i have some more time to work on my truck. Trying to finally finish up all the brake work tomorrow. My only problem is that i have no clue what the e brake set up looks like or how it attaches. The previous owner must have cut the lines, maybe because they were froze. I dont know. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone of you great folk could explain to me how to set it up or have pictures? I searched the forum but came up with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also hoping to get some pics of my truck up in the next week or so.

Thanks

Its a 79, 4wd long bed, F150. It looks like the guy prior gutted or started to redo the e brakes but just never finished. Leaving me with no starting point other than the E-brake itself.

Sorry it took so long, I had to figure out how to pull an image from a .pdf file without sending the entire 951 pages.
This is an illustration from the Ford parts manual. Hope it helps.
You'll need adobe acrobat to read it.

Here are some pictures of the e-brake system.
This is a 1973 F100 2WD but the systems are similar.
