My truck is a 72 SWB, and the PO had hacked the parking brake cable. I've replaced the the cables and hardware, but I was missing the 2 loops/guides that I assume would attach to the frame. I've seen them in diagrams in catalogs, but wasn't sure if they were only used on LWB trucks? Do I need them? Any pics of the cable routing on a SWB would be much appreciated.

I also need to find the brake cable lever that installs inside the driver rear drum, behind the shoe. Does anyone know of a source? Doesn't look like Brothers, GMCPauls, or LMC carry it. I'm thinking I might be doing some salvage yard searches...
