Radio Power Cable

Does anyone have a picture of how the power cable goes though the cab wall and into the bed?

Right now, my cab just has the opening and if I put a wire in there it will just be loose. Maybe there are some holders that mount around that cab hole?

Mine has a two-piece circular bracket/retainer (one piece on each side of the rear wall of the cab). It's secured with four round-head screws and has the remains of a rubber grommet in it. I don't know if the rubber grommet is original or not. When I get around to restoring the cab, I'll replace the grommet...probably with a solid piece of rubber (no hole), since my M37 is no longer an M42. The M42 command kit had been removed long ago, and the truck was rebadged back to an M37 again. This is what it looks like on the inside:

Here's the other side of the bracket:

Oh I was wrong, that is just a cable pass through. The rubber prevents the cable from getting cut by the sheet metal.
