Cable runs down behind the kick panel, along the driver side door
under the plastic panel and carpet. It then runs under the carpet
under the seat to a hole near the center of the rear of the cab. From
there, the cable and housing run to a bracket above and just forward
of the rear axle where it connects to a saddle yoke and the two wheels
cables.

When mine broke, I just pulled the end of the cable out, drilled out
the ferule and brazed it back on. Figutre it can break twice more
there before I run out of cable to work with - much faster than
replacing the whole cable assembly which requires pulling the seat,
carpet, and rear trim panel <g>.
