Does anyone know the routing of the hand brakes and where to get the pulleys for it.
Thank you George

George - take a look at the Branscome system. If you need to replace any of the stock cables you will find they are very expensive to replace with stock equivalents. For only a few bucks more you can get the excellent and much improved Branscome system. My GMC came with some "spare" cables so I just ordered the ones I needed. With what I paid for them I should have sold the OEM ones I had on EBay and bought the Branscome system. BTW I have found out that any parts that came with my GMC that I thought were "spares" were just replacement repair parts that had not yet been installed by the PO. The only spare parts that were not needed were the 4 spare airbags (3 NIB).

Â Last month when I did my burnout at the Orlando Speed World, that OEM brake system worked just fine. If you use them they are fine.

The pulley is a pretty standard item. Mine are marked "01568" fixed eye 1-1/2" pulley 3/1`6 cable 525 pound capacity. You will also need some bolts, nuts, and washers to complete the system.
These were made in Texas, if you are tired of Chinese quality.
I bought mine from a GMC supplier, always trying to support those who support our GMC's.
