Does anybody have or can get me pics of the routing for the ebrake cables. Trying to get my chassis buttoned up and forgot to take pics. Cant seem to find much online. Feel like im missing a part or two.

Which part are you having trouble with, I can get a few pics from my monte
There isn't much to it. I don't have pics.
Passenger side comes across the axle to a loop attached to frame which the cable goes threw, it's just a holder.
Then it goes to a floating bracket an it's fixed on to the hole closest to the drivers frame. Then the drivers side cable goes threw the other hole going out front of the floating bracket.
Then the lead end attaches to a clip that also attaches to the front emergency brake which runs threw the frame. It has a fixed retainer where it exits the frame to keep it in position.
Cable goes threw firewall to petal.
Hope you can understand this.
When you buy ebrake cables they supply everything but the floating bracket. So you can only be missing the triangle shaped floating bracket.

I just installed new cables in my wagon not that long ago but I moved it over close to the wall in my garage and covered it up. I cant get under it to take any decent pictures. What bob64 said pretty much covers it though. One word of advice, leave the drums off until you finish and get the rear cable connected to the front. With the drums on you might have a real hard time getting enough slack to hook the rear to the front. No drums, the shoes spread just enough to hook the end in.
apparently the floating bracket and the connection for front to rear cable. Pics would be a great help. I have searched everywhere around here and cant find any pieces laying around or remember taking them off, although I know I did,lol. I found the old cables, no brackets in sight.
I,m definatly missing that bracket but seems another that connects the front to rear cable.
Google image search is your friend.. lol

LOL, I found that yesterday but it still don't show the front ,rear cable connection.
Im not exactly sure what you mean. The photos clearly show how the cables are routed at the rear. The first photo shows how the cables are attached to the metal piece. From that piece forward theres only a single cable that is joined to the cable that comes out of the firewall with a connector that looks like this. Its a very simple setup.
As I said earlier, just make sure the drums are off or you might not have enough slack to hook the two ends into this connector because the shoes will hit the drums and not give you enough cable.
