Default 37 PU emergency brake

Good afternoon
My 37 pu emergency brake cable currently runs inside the cab under the toe kick, is this correct?

I recall it runs along the frame below the floorboards then comes up and through a grommet to the inside of the cab just above the sloped floorboard.

The ‘37 parking brake cable runs from the handle under the dash forward through the firewall then down and back under the floorboard to terminate at the clutch/brake cross bar under the driver’s floorboard. From that point, service and parking brakes are combined to all four wheels.
