I am getting to the point where I need to start routing the harness, choke, speedo and whatever else along the firewall but I am not really sure where everything goes. Does anybody have a few pictures of these areas for a nice, stock truck? Examples of the areas I am interested in are shown in pics from my truck below.
Thanks!

If you have any questions, I can photograph any detail that you want.
Your truck is coming along nicely.:)
Here are a couple pics I have from when I put the 230 back in mine years ago.

Thanks for more photos Dave.
I find it interesting that your photos show the wire loom to the right engine side, is routed along the upper fire wall.
I found mine routed inside of the cab. But, who knows how many hands had been in there before me.

Yep with as many hands as mine had passed through who knows. Mine looks like it had the heater in it for a long time and I don't know if someone at some point was too lazy to fish all up there behind it. Looking at pics under the hood of my M725 looks like wire runs inside.Quote:

I am really surprised at how much bend is in the speedo cable. Perhaps that is why the break? I looked at how it threads into the Transfer case and i'm thinking I don't ever want to replace that thing.
As a follow-up question -
I am installing the steering column, and where it meets the firewall, there is a foam rubber gasket. My gasket has an imprint from some piece that was on the upper half of the gasket (see dotted red area in picture below).
What goes there?
It seems like there is a piece of metal that slots in there. Otherwise, there is a hole in the firewall. I looked at the pedal brackets inside the cab and they don't seem to cover that up.
Thanks for your help!

I will try to take a close look at mine.
But yes, looking at one of my old photos, you are missing something.https://i.imgur.com/wG10degh.jpg
I couldn't find it listed in the parts manual:confused:
But sure enough, there it is in this photo that I have just taken.

Thanks again Jeepdan!
I couldn't find it in the parts manual either but I don't have much faith in those manuals anymore:confused:.
Now I need to try and figure out where me from 20 years ago placed that plate. Maybe it's in the same place as the brake pedal return spring that I can't seem to find. Man - sometimes I just want to shake that kid!
Thanks!
My brake pedal return spring was rusty and broken.
I replaced it with one that I found at Advanced Auto Parts.
Can't remember exactly which one that I had bought from their store, and I might have had to modify the end. Can't remember.:confused:https://i.imgur.com/Y8b8PBsh.jpg
Need Help, where did you get the white cable ties that attached to firewall?
Not sure exactly which clip you mean but I used these:Quote:

It clips into the firewall near the exhaust manifold and I used it to hold the speedo cable.
They matched what was on my truck but I can't say for sure they are the original part.
