Here is how far I got. I opted to use the Lokar as I had no clue how I wanted it done and could not order a pre made cable until I had one to mock up.
I ended up running to the factor brake bracket and welded on an eyelet for the cable. The factory clevis was moved to the outside by drilling a new hole.
The E brake assembly is out of an 80 blazer and the two bolts line up with the hood hinge bolts. I installed longer bolts and bolted it up inside the cab.

The cable runs down along the frame and has very few miner binds.

Once hooked up I'll let you know how well it works.
