Heater/Defrost cable stupid Question

Bad news last week, one of my best friends (Bronco Hut Melissa and Dan knew him) Perry Kimbel of Kimbel Auto died of massive heart attack 57 freakin years old. Perry was intrumental in helping me live my dream of having a EB. Not much of a gear head myself, he guided me along the long process of 68 frame up and we were 99% done. I love the EB and look forward to driving it every day. Perry was old school mechanic and loved working on my EB and took a ton of pride in his work. He left me with two jobs unfinished. I need some help.

Power brake booster- we found one in a junker, it is all fix up. I am not sure that I need it, as my brakes are working fine with the old master cyl. He thought it was a good idea and I see several of you have them.

Did not thank about it until yesterday as I was driving NB on 91 here in W'Mass and it was raining like no tomorrow, Perry never got around to hooking up my defrost and heater cables. I just need to see where they go and hopefully won't have to drive down like I had three hotties in the car (foggy).

I am sure that i will be looking for some help, but am lucky that PK helped me become obsessed with my EB. He was a great guy and loved that this site was here, I go on almost daily and was able to provide both he and I with a lot of your knowledge. When you crank yours up today, say hell ya for PK. Thanks. Gityup68.

These pics are not very good but all that I have. If you can't figure it out from here just ask and someone will help you out. This picture would be as if you just pulled the dash out away from the cowl and looked down from the top.

Hey, where did those pics come from? I suspect there are more pics in the same place that are just as useful. I.E. Is that from some Ford manual? If so then I would be interested in locating one. Or at least in watching out for one.

Sorry, don't remember. I stash all diagrams I find into the Bronco folder on my D drive. Could've been from an earlier thread or maybe I scanned it from a Chiltons.
