fallow the throttle cable, it's a safe spot then tuck the wires up above the clutch and brake pedal.

You could just drill a hole and use a rubber grommet to keep the wire from getting cut.

I ran my amp wire and switch wires for my rollbar lights through the rubber grommet for either the steering shaft or throttle cable, can't remember off the top of my head now... I just cut a small hole in it and fed them through there

I used a screw driver to go inside the gromet that is there and ran my cb wire there so that I had a good seal and didn't have to drill through the firewall. Just my .02

He can't go that route if I'm thinking correctly. I want to say that the gromet that we all used isn't threre on a manual truck. Well, it is, but it has a pedal working through it.

Bub, I'll have to peer down and have a look see later today since I'm sure there are other places to use.

I got a pic of where my wires go through the firewall, not where I previously mentioned at all.... They go through the big grommet where the big harness goes through, to the left of the brake booster...

it might be a good idea to wipe that down and cover it in liquid electric tape or RTV Maxx.
