TC Parking Brake Cable ?

For those of you who have swapped a 5.0L into a TC, how did you route the passenger side parking brake cable?  Did you route it up and over the top of the driveshaft tunnel (that's how I did mine), or what?  Just curious what the preferred method was.  I don't see how you could reuse the crossmember that the cable was originally attached to.

Someone must have relocated it for you.  From the factory, there was a flimsy cross member that ran across the driveshaft tunnel (at the back of the floor pans).  The passenger side E-brake cable ran across that cross member originally.

i think it may be a truck cable, because it's a lot thicker than the DS cable and the cables that used to be on the other car
