2WD Blazer Emergency Brake Photos

I am currently working on a 1972 Blazer 4WD to 2WD conversion and would like to see the routing and brackets for a 2WD Blazer. I purchased a 2WD emergency brake cable set from inline tube but not sure where it is routed when it exits the fire wall and where that cable end passes through and locks in. Also not sure how long the cable guides (hooks) are and where they attach to the body. If anyone has some pics it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2WD Blazer Emergency Brake Photos

Complete parking brake set up was removed from my 71 Jimmy by PO. I have posted here with no results. I have never found a better picture than the one in LMC catalog. I now have mine complete except the main cable. I have bought and have several cables and none are the right length. I know I could make one and likely will one day. Good luck.
